Almada Forum - Portugal

The largest car park in Europe to have pollution and smoke-control provided by Impulse Ventilation System is the Almada Forum shopping Centre in Portugal. The Forum chose PSB to design, manufacture and install the system. As Portugal’s second largest shopping centre, with 174 000 m2 of car park on two levels, providing space for around 5000 vehicles, the Forum needed a large-scale solution from a trusted company. The PSB system includes over 400 Impulse fans, 16 exhaust fans and equipment for detecting smoke and pollution. The installation was followed by a rigorous and extensive commissioning procedure. Karsten Witt, director of PSB, says: “To have designed and installed a system of this size and importance further strengthens our position as Europe’s leading and most trusted supplier of specialist ventilation systems for underground car parks.”
