This project involves retrofitting a fire sprinkler system into an existing 7-floor residential building to enhance fire safety and comply with updated fire codes and regulations. The building houses a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, common areas, and shared amenities such as a gym and laundry room. The retrofit aims to integrate a reliable, modern sprinkler system while minimizing disruption to the residents and preserving the aesthetic integrity of the property. The project requires careful planning and execution to address challenges such as working within an occupied building and integrating the system into existing infrastructure.
The scope of work includes a thorough assessment of the building layout and fire risk zones, followed by the design and installation of a customized wet-pipe sprinkler system. Special attention will be given to areas with unique requirements, such as the electrical rooms and common spaces. The project will also include the installation of new water supply lines, fire department connections, and pressure-regulating devices to ensure optimal performance across all floors. Post-installation, the system will undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with NFPA standards and local fire codes, delivering a safer living environment for residents.
