Sentinel™ Pre-Pac® Meets Strict Requirements Ahead Of Schedule
As Eglin Air Force Base finished its new, 3-story, 30,000-sq.-ft. simulated flight training building at Hurlburt Field along Florida’s panhandle coast, the project team contacted Mike Brown, general manager of Advanced Fire Protection Services, Inc., to locate and install the best fire suppression system.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers stipulated that it meet strict specifications, longevity expectations and performance parameters (including a 0.1 design density and light to heavy hazard areas). It needed to be a packaged system installed within an out-structure, easily replaceable (within a matter of hours), serviceable and readily available or quickly manufactured.
Brown recommended a Sentinel Pre-Pac® 6 x 5 m skid-mounted prepackaged system. Through first-hand experience, he knew Patterson was the industry leader in prompt delivery of standard fire pump systems. Also, he considered the Sentinel Horizontal Split Case Pump one of the most serviceable in the industry, with parts availability in 24-48 hours.
This Sentinel Pre-Pac system met all Corps of Engineers specifications for the installation in the first submittal.
"The totally assembled Pre-Pac system was delivered one day early and lifted into place before construction was completed. Requiring only electrical connections and the hookup of water supply and discharge lines, it was completely installed in less than a day. It was also designed to slide through double doors for later removal," says Brown.
