Victaulic Case Studies
Capital Plaza
The Capital Plaza project, in the centre of Abu Dhabi, consists of a 250-room five-star hotel tower (the Millennium & Copthorne Hotel), with 32 floors and a height of 166m, a 25,000 square meters office building with 34 floors and a height of 200m, and 220 luxury apartments including 21 sky villas and six rooftop villa apartments located in three towers ranging from 173m to 210m in height. There are also retail facilities and five levels of basement and underground car parking.
Work on the Capital Plaza fire protection systems began in 2007 with the main contractor, the Arabian Construction Company, carrying out installations throughout the entire development and working closely with engineer Concorde Co. LLC. Concorde chose to install a complete range of fire protection products manufactured by Victaulic, including a full range of sprinklers, valves, wet and deluge valves, open spray nozzles, couplings and fittings. The project manager at Concorde chose Victaulic products because of the great reputation, product range and quality. Concorde has worked with Victaulic before and found their products help to reduce onsite problems. Concorde also relied on Victaulic for the most key products in the entire fire protection installation: the alarm valves. The reason why they chose Victaulic FireLock® devices is because of the straight-through body design, which provides superior flow and low-pressure drop. The devices also offer simple access to all internal parts for easy maintenance, which can be performed from the installed position. FP installation on this enormous project is now complete to NFPA standards. The hotel opened in August, 2011 and the residential towers are already being used.
