NOVEC 1230 Data Centre Fire Suppression System scoops major award

Project: NOVEC 1230 Data Centre Fire Suppression System

Client(s): Data Centre

Bryland-Fire-NOVECWhen one of Bryland Fire Protection’s major clients identified the requirement for a new Data Centre Installation at its prestigious Woking site, it was up to Bryland to provide a suitable fire protection system to provide 24/7 fire coverage to the risk. The newly commissioned Data Centre would provide Co-location/Hosting services to many important clientele, so it was not only important to guard against the perceived fire risks, but to meet the expectations of their customers in regard to safeguarding critical data and critical up-times.

Bryland recommended the use of Novec 1230 fire suppression fluid to protect the space. The manufacturer 3M’s 20 year Blue Sky™ Warranty meant that the customer would not have to worry about the phasing out or banning of the Fire Suppressant media and would feel safe in the knowledge that it would be suitable and sustainable for the foreseeable future and beyond. This combined with Novec 1230 fluid’s enhanced green credentials made it the perfect choice.

The next challenge for Bryland was a technical one. As with all data centres, space was at a premium and the customer had earmarked two cylinder storage areas for the installation of the required cylinders away from the protected area. Utilising a 25 Bar Kidde/Novec 1230 fluid system, Bryland Fire Protections’ In-house Design Team provided a bespoke system solution using pinpoint nozzle coverage and modular cylinder design to provide the required protection to the data hall.

Due to the complexity of the install, Bryland appointed an on-site Senior Project Engineer, Stewart Houghton, who worked very closely with the main contactor MACE and was dedicated to the project for the whole period stretching from initial placing of cylinders right through to commissioning.

A total of 56 Cylinders with over 6000 Kg of Novec 1230 fluid were installed, all with their own individual pipework system and discharging nozzles, covering the data hall room and floor void. This was combined with addressable “coincidence” Smoke Detection to activate the Novec 1230 suppressant discharge to protect the space as well as a High Sensitivity Smoke Detection system arranged within the risk to provide the earliest possible warning of a fire providing total peace-of-mind for the customer.

After scooping the prestigious award, Bryland MD Graham Turner commented:-

“We are absolutely delighted in winning this award for the Data Centre NOVEC 1230 install. This certainly was a challenging project, but the professionalism and technical ability of the Bryland team made what seemed like an impossible task quite straightforward. The NOVEC 1230’s design and install flexibility helped a lot during the delivery of the project, and this combined with our dedicated on site Senior Project Manager made sure that the project went in with the minimum of fuss. A big well done to all the team”.
