Five Times We Delivered Fire Safety On Time

Promising a long lasting, quality installation to your client is one thing. It’s another to prove it. In the field of fire safety, it’s never been more important to promote quality, high standards and values in everything you do as part of your service.

BlazeMaster® CPVC has been installed as part of major scale new builds and retrofits across the world, thanks to its innovative strength, resistance to heat, fire and corrosion. It's also proven to save time, money and resources in many high profile builds, as detailed in a recent cost comparison study.

In a recent study in which an installation team was tasked with installing both CPVC and Steel sprinkler systems in 11 storey buildings, the following total costs of materials and labour were recorded:

But it’s one thing to tell your clients this; here are five examples you can show them.

COVID 19 Hospitals Fitted with BlazeMaster CPVC

In the renovation of two medical facilities in the Sichuan Province in China, BlazeMaster CPVC was selected for the role of installing fire safety systems into two hospitals that needed to be equipped and ready to admit and treat COVID 19 patients in just five days. 

The installation team were able to install sprinkler pipes in 370 wards in just two days. 

In this case, it was not just the sprinkler technology that was able to save lives. The fast, efficient installation allowed medical professionals to start saving lives sooner.

BlazeMaster CPVC at Park Community School

BlazeMaster CPVC was chosen as part of Park Community School’s £18 million renovation for it’s fast and flexible installation process. Installation is a safe process requiring no heavy or loud tools; this saved installers hours, if not days as they could peacefully work while classes were still taking place. 

The full installation of 913 sprinkler heads was completed between late 2014 and Summer 2015.

Callow Mount Retrofit, Sheffield

The retrofitting of this old, unprotected high-rise social housing block at Callow Mount had to be practical, time and cost sensitive in order for it to be declared a success. 

The installation across 47 flats did not require relocation of occupants, saving crucial time. Material, labour and administrative costs totalled £55,134, or £1,150 per flat. It took just one day to fully fit an apartment with CPVC fire sprinkler technology.

Newhailes House, Scotland - A National Trust Installation

For the Newhailes House renovation, BlazeMaster CPVC was chosen for its speed of build and solvent cement bonding techniques. The option for smaller diameter pipes thanks to CPVC’s inherent strength and corrosion resistance meant that a full installation could be executed quickly and without disturbance to the historic monument, with a sprinkler in every room. 

Crucial time was saved in the selection of CPVC over steel, as was the integrity of the 19th century house.

High-Rise Retrofit in Record Time

At the time of building, the Jester Center at the University of Texas, Austin, was the largest dormitory in North America, at 3,000 beds and 1 million+ square feet.

BlazeMaster CPVC was chosen both for its speed of installation and ability to be installed while allowing thousands of students to continue living there. While steel would have required the closing of multiple floors, installation of CPVC could take place with no student disturbed, delivering major financial savings to the University. 

BlazeMaster CPVC is equipped to see installation teams through the toughest projects, with cost savings that will take the stress out of the experience, for your clients, and for you.
