To upgrade their fire fighting system, a resort in Dindi chose to go forward with a retrofitting job. This resort is at a picturesque location of West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. The property accommodates 60 rooms in total and the restaurant is the busiest part of the resort.
The restaurant begins at 4:00 AM every day and runs until 1:00 AM. Retrofitting had to be done in the restaurant of this busy resort. Minimum disturbance to the guest and least damage to the resort were the highest priority. Strict timelines were to be followed to ensure that the work was completed within a few days. Thus, BlazeMaster® Fire Protection Systems became an ideal choice.

The project was awarded to Moray Fire and Safety, which has a reputation of meeting the customer's expectation in every project. Mr. Jagadeesh Kumar, Managing Director of Moray Fire and Safety said “The resort is on a private property which witnesses a huge footfall throughout the calendar. A lot of travelers and vacationers visit this resort as the area is blessed with the beauty of Eastern Ghats.
