Victaulic Case Studies
West Pender Place
Located in the prime Coal Harbour neighbourhood of downtown Vancouver, the high profile West Pender Place complex features a 44 story West Tower with a seven story parkade connected to two ten story East Towers, making it one of the most prominent high rise residential/commercial construction projects of 2011 in Vancouver.
To meet the fire protection needs of this facility, the contractor, Secure Fire Protection, insisted upon the use of Victaulic FireLock® systems. Secure was confident in the proven track record of quality and trusted performance that Victaulic products deliver, having used them for over 10 years on other major projects. For West Pender Place, over 5000 couplings, 9000 sprinkler heads, 40 high pressure butterfly valves and seven devices were installed.
Being a high-rise facility, the West Pender Place system needed to effectively handle high pressures up to 350 psi/2517kPa. In the valve room, Victaulic FireLock NXT® Series 768 Dry devices with Vic®-Quick Risers were the preferred choice. Rated to 300 psi/2065 kPa, the highest in the industry, FireLock NXT® devices provided the the greatest level of comfort for use on this project. In addition, FireLock NXT® devices shipped ready to install with all trim pre-assembled and the unit preset for air pressure at 13 psi/.89 Bar.
Grant Hall, Owner of Secure Fire Protection, reflects on the project: "Victaulic was there every step of the way -- adding value and support throughout the process and giving me complete confidence. From a product perspective, this was the first time we used Victaulic FireLock NXT devices. I was very impressed with how easy it was to install and put these devices into operation. We have never had one false trip."
