Story
The project required the installation of over 7,000 sprinkler heads, nearly 15 miles of pipe, and a 2,000 GPM diesel fire pump. Working efficiently over an eight-month timeline, a dedicated three-person crew maintained an impressive pace, occasionally completing one full system per week. The team successfully managed this demanding schedule while actively coordinating necessary building inspections during the busy holiday season, ultimately delivering a robust, reliable fire protection network without compromising safety or quality.
