Ten Hill Place Hotel emphasizes fire safety with Marioff HI-FOG solution.
Marioff Ltd
Business ChallengesTen Hill Place’s fire protection project was initiated in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017. An £8.5 million pound extension and refurbishment project, already well underway, was paused to focus on guest safety.Although fire suppression systems are not a legal requirement, the decision was made to implementa new, fast-acting fire protectionsolution that could cover the entire building and provide the best assurance of guest safety possible.Aside from guest safety, the ability to retrofit to their existing building was a priority. Finally, they needed a solution that matched their top- notch environmental credentials and longstanding ethos of sustainability.The HI-FOG SolutionTen Hill Place chose the HI-FOGhigh-pressure water mist suppression system. From design to aftersales, Marioff’s team of experts worked with Ten Hill Place to implement the best possible fire protection solution for the space. In this case, it was the HI-FOG MSPU4+1 modular pump unit.The HI-FOG systems’ modularity means it can be transported through tight spaces in pieces and assembled at the final location. This offered flexible and fast installation for Ten Hill Place’s space, and the system’s low-diameter tubes enabled simple retrofittingand a discreet appearance inthe building’s carefully designed interiors. The system’s high- pressure water mist sprinklers efficiently cool radiant heat while using significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems, making them a more sustainable option for fire protection. As an additional benefit, the low water usage – and the fact that water mist does not pool – will minimize building and infrastructure damage if the system is ever activated.Despite the system’s efficient water usage, the HI-FOG is able to protect all spaces in the building, providing exceptional fire protection assurance for guests. The system isintegrated with the building’s fire detection system for immediate activation in the event of a fire.
