Specifying Blazemaster CPVC for Efficient Fire Suppression

Like with any installation project, careful, logical planning and risk analysis is key to a satisfying end result for your team and your occupants. But it’s not just recommended; it’s regulated. The British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association lists the installer certification bodies that regulate the design and installation of sprinkler systems in the UK, all of which require certificates of compliance.

Consider how BlazeMaster fire protection system responds to this, with an efficient installation process that delivers savings to you and your business, along with effective fire suppression for customers.

BlazeMaster CPVC vs Steel

BlazeMaster CPVC fire sprinkler systems have attained global status as the most sought after non-metallic solution. BlazeMaster CPVC achieves this as it is light and durable, yet strong and resistant to microbiologically influenced corrosion. The pipe material also has excellent smoke characteristics and will not sustain a flame. 

But among BlazeMaster CPVC’s many benefits, there are a great number of cost-saving considerations that give your installation process, and your business the advantage.

Labour Costs

You’ve considered the necessary volume of your team and you've also factored in the level of overall skill and supervision available to you. 

Now consider BlazeMaster CPVC’s solvent-weld jointing system. This requires significantly fewer bodies on the ground than traditional steel, and does not require traditional welding skills either. A smaller crew means savings on the skills needed to fulfil the job.

Equipment and Materials

As an engineer, you’re responsible for equipment and tools worth thousands, and the risks associated with using them. All of this activity comes at a cost, much of which is eliminated if you’re considering BlazeMaster CPVC.

Thanks to the solvent cement welding technique, heavy electric machinery or hot works on site is a thing of the past. Not only does this allow for a safer working environment for labourers and occupants, but the faster transportation, delivery and installation of your new fire sprinkler system will create huge savings in plant costs, as will the specification of tools and technology.

Saving Time

It’s essential to plan your timeline out as accurately as possible, as missing deadlines can jeopardize current and future projects. The difference in man-hours could mean thousands to you, your business and the local community.

While CPVC requires fewer people and tools, the individuals on-site can still achieve a great deal over a shorter period of time. Recent studies show that the installation of BlazeMaster CPVC can take up to 33.7% fewer man-hours to install.

Managing the Cost of Retrofitting 

Thanks to the strength and resistance of CPVC, BlazeMaster fire protection systems have flexible and smaller diameter pipes and fittings, allowing installers to reach even the hardest places, without the need to vacate occupants. This is particularly advantageous in retrofit scenarios, where fire safety engineers are managing the cost of upgrading large buildings that are still in use. 

Long Term Savings

BlazeMaster CPVC’s proven performance and reliability also offer long term cost-saving advantages, as its corrosion resistance allows for years of optimum service with less need for maintenance and repairs. 

Installing a safe, efficient fire sprinkler system well starts with making safe, efficient financial decisions at the outset. Consider how the benefits of BlazeMaster CPVC fire sprinklers might give your newest project the cost-saving advantage.
