Case Study | on November 15th, 2020
Hyderabad has been one of the top cities in the growing Indian residential real estate market.
One of the best residential projects in Hyderabad was in search of suitable fire protection systems in alliance with metal piping. The project was keen to take leadership with CPVC fire protection systems and thus BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System became their preferred choice.
Project details
The developer as well as the consultant wanted to carry out the installation of the fire protection system without compromising on the lavish tastes of its high-profile customers. Afterall no homebuyer would want a red metal pipe running in their apartment and being an eye-sore! At the same time it was important to use limited resources.
The reputed residential project in Hyderabad comprises 3 towers standing 29 stories tall. The project offers 4 and 5 BHKs with an inventory of 145 flats to the who’s who of Hyderabad. The developer of the project believes in providing their customers with the complete package of comfort and convenience - lavish lifestyle, elite amenities and excellent connectivity. But what often goes unnoticed is the quality of the fire protection system the builder chooses.
Why BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System?
A representative associated with the project said, “We not only want our residents to have a modern and luxurious life, but also a safe and secured one. Our foundation stands tall on their trust and we want them to have a space where they feel protected every day. Fire compliance is of utmost importance and it is mandatory to install, before people move-in to high-rise buildings. Hence, while deciding the fire protection systems we had three factors in mind.
- One, the system should follow international safety standards,
- Two, it should be durable, and
- Three, CPVC pipes should be easy to install.
Because the fire safety system was going to be installed inside the flats, we explored if lighter options are available, which could be installed more compactly as compared to steel. Adding to that, once the installation was done, families would move into these homes. Hence, we wanted a hassle-free and low maintenance solution. BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems fit perfectly in our criteria and we finalized it without any further delay.”
Choosing BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System
When asked about the process of selection, the representative said, “To be honest, the use of non-metallic pipes in a fire safety system is a fairly new idea. The residential project has used Mild Steel Pipes too, in few places of the building. Hence, the use of CPVC pipes with the MS pipes was a collaborative effort towards fire safety. With the backing of Lubrizol Advanced Materials’ over 60-years of CPVC technology experience, we know we have chosen the best fire protection system. We want to provide our residents the same reliability and security that Lubrizol promises with its BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems technology. Hence, we were confident in our decision to involve BlazeMaster CPVC for this project.”
Hassle-free installation
This high-rise project provides spaciousness and promises better utility of space in the apartments. The representative talks more about the installation process, saying, “Installing a conventional fire sprinkler system takes time, but with BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System, the process was easy and quick Significantly lighter pipes made it easy to move and work on and install, cold solvent joints instead of hot welding made installation fast and hassle-free, and the bright orange color eliminated the need to paint the piping system, thus saving a lot of project time.”
MIC free
Apart from these factors, the other major reasons to finalize BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System in this project were the easy maintenance and longer life as compared to its conventional steel pipes and fittings. This is possible as the CPVC pipe and fittings are MIC (Microbial Induced Corrosion) free. This was an added advantage which developer could pass on to the building owners.
BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System is the project USP.
This residential high-rise building is home for around 145 families. Apart from providing the residents with the confidence of being in a secure surrounding, the developer found tremendous qualities like time-saving, cost-cutting, no maintenance and the no-hassle factors to be the major reasons why BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems was the best choice. The building now mentions BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System as its fire safety compliance and provides fire sprinkler systems in all the 145 flats and floors as a part of its project specifications and one of its unique selling propositions.
