WM Morrisons, Teignmouth

The Brief

To design, supply, install and commission a full sprinkler system to the new store except for the BOH store areas. Including water supplies.

The challenge

Programme issues with main contractor ISG Pearce as they were late in completing the project

The Solution

FDS installed a pre-calculated OH 3 system with 440 sprinkler heads inclusive of water supplies to a hybrid specification which included LPC rules BSEN12845 and WN Morrisons own specification incorporating Life Safety. Equipment used 135m3 Galvanised cylindrical tank feeding 1 duty electric pump and 1 standby diesel pump via 1 no 150mm wet Alarm valve all situated within a GRP pump house within the loading bay.

The system was split into 2 zones each fed via their own zone check valve arrangement.
