REFURBISHING A BUILDING?
Don’t forget what’s above the ceiling…
When the layout of a commercial building changes, the existing sprinkler system may need to change with it.
Moving walls, creating new offices or changing how a space is used can all affect sprinkler coverage - which is why fire protection should form part of the refurbishment planning process, not become an afterthought at the end.
Our team regularly carries out sprinkler system adaptations, working alongside other trades to ensure existing systems continue to provide the required protection within newly configured spaces.
From alterations and extensions to testing and commissioning, we help clients make sure their sprinkler protection keeps up with the building around it.
Recent works at CAVC Dumballs Road in Cardiff are a great example, with our team adapting the existing system as part of the creation of new communal office areas.
