2 Grade II listed villas, interconnected with newly built property, form the basis of this exceptional fire sprinkler protected retirement living project for Pegasus Life in Cheltenham.
One Bayshill Road has partial protection to 48 apartments and communal areas set out over the ground floor and levels 1-5. Fed from a combined water storage tank by others, with a booster set, controls and a self-test facility by Ecotect. A priority demand valve signal shuts off the domestic water supply upon activation of the fire sprinkler system, ensuring the entire capacity of the tank is available for fire-fighting purposes.
The Blueflow system, designed to BS 9251: 2014 Category 3 (4 heads activating for 30 minutes) in the common areas and to Category 2 for the apartment protection (where pressure and flow requirements are calculated for any two heads to activate for the same duration).
In addition, a dry system to BS EN 12845 OH2 has been installed to protect a parking area, which would be fed from a fire service inlet valve in the event of fire.
