Sheffield (2011)

Domestic Sprinklers were appointed to carry out the first High Rise retrofit installation in the UK at this occupied 13-floor residential block. A project funded and directed by the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA) for the Sprinkler Coordination Group (SCG).

Work at the building was undertaken in September 2011, with the main objective of seeing if it was practical to fit a sprinkler system without relocating residents. Fitting sprinklers in 47 flats, plus utility rooms, common areas, bin stores and an office it took less than four weeks to do all the work and no occupants had to be relocated.
