To protect the parking garage of a new apartment building in the center of Leipzig, the responsible persons decided on a fire fighting system by AQUASYS.
It offers several advantages both in terms of challenging technical conditions and in terms of economic efficiency. High-quality design of AQUASYS technology enables long life and flexibility.
Battery charging stations
Compared to sprinkler systems, the AQUASYS system uses significantly less water, is far more efficient and the components such as pipes, water tank, and pumps are a lot smaller. All pipes and water-bearing components are made of high-quality stainless steel, thus enabling a system service life of more than 25 years.
Compared to sprinkler systems, the AQUASYS system uses significantly less water
On the one hand, the AQUASYS system can be easily extended in the area to be protected, and on the other hand it can also be very flexibly modified for future requirements such as electromobility and the associated challenges such as battery charging stations.
In contrast to conventional fire-fighting systems, the AQUASYS high-pressure water mist system is much more flexible when environmental conditions have changed, which allows extensive adaptations without replacing the system.
Local project realization
Continuous support of the partners by AQUASYS project managers ensures a successful local project realization.
- Their local installation partner was able to draw on the engineering and project management expertise of AQUASYS from the very beginning. Together a high-pressure water mist system tailored to local requirements was designed and successfully coordinated with the client, the planner, and the building authorities.
- The assembly of the system parts was supported by the delivery of prefabricated assemblies such as pump modules, valve units or piping parts.
- Commissioning, training, and handover of the HPWM system is carried out by their partner together with AQUASYS.
- The cooperation with a local partner guarantees the customer immediate on-site support from experienced and well-trained technicians and service staff, both during the execution and, above all, for the ongoing maintenance.
Occurring low temperatures
Protection of the parking areas on both underground levels:
The pump system consists of 7 pumps, which supply up to 670l water/min
The system was designed with consideration of occurring low temperatures (risk of freezing!) as a dry system, which is characterized by a very simple construction and reliable operation. The pump system consists of 7 pumps, which supply up to 670l water/min. and thus provides sufficient supply for the different protection areas on both levels.
Ensuring the required water supply for 60 min operating time despite the complicated and very narrow construction geometry is a particular challenge for the AQUASYS design department in this project as well.
Following their efforts for optimal AQUASYS ‘ customized solutions’, a solution could be found by using a trapezoidal tank, which, in addition to a direct supply from the drinking water pipe, also contains an additional supply via the outside of the building for the fire brigade.
