University administrators had found past retrofits to be disruptive, multi-year projects because of engineering challenges related to steel-pipe systems. By choosing a BlazeMaster® fire sprinkler system, engineering decisions could be made in the field to speed installation, and the retrofit was redesigned and reinstalled in just four days.
The university eventually retrofitted 15 buildings, working during winter and summer breaks to limit disruption. More than 8,000 sprinkler heads were installed quickly and without displacing a single resident – a testament to BlazeMaster CPVC’s easy installation.
