The proposed Channel 4 building was to be an award winning design with unique architectural features. Integrity of the electrical supply was paramount, as any loss of transmission would incur incredible loss of revenue from advertisers.

In the early design stage of the project Terasaki worked very closely with the consultant to assist in the selection of devices. Terasaki offered to conduct initial fault level and selectivity studies to verify that the proposed devices would fulfil the definition of protection: "to guard, to defend, to keep safe".
The consultant then recommended that all electrical equipment suppliers should use Terasaki protection components. Rolla would install TemPower ACBs, TemTrip Protection Relays and TemBreak MCCBs in their Switchboards. Anton Pillar would equip the UPS panels with TemPower ACBs, TemTrip Protection Relays and TemBreak MCCBs. Dale Electric would distribute the generator supply from TemPower ACBs and TemTrip relays. Barduct busbar trunking tap off units would be equipped with TemBreak MCCBs, "T. Clarke" as the electrical contractors would install TemWay distribution equipment.
To justify the consultant's confidence in Terasaki, we made sure that there was close communication with all of the above companies, and that the correct products were incorporated into their systems. A Terasaki engineer was assigned to this project to provide technical support, attend joint meetings and visit the companies individually. The project was completed within all design criteria.
Comment from the Consultant
"The Channel 4 project was one of the most prestigious I have designed. From the onset it was evident that I had to have complete confidence in the suppliers, not only to provide the highest level of service but also to communicate as a team rather than individual companies. Terasaki provided the right products, technical support and back up that contributed to the successful completion of this contract."
