\ United Kingdom Supreme Court Law Library Case Study \ Located in Westminster, London, the Westminster Guildhall is of historic interest dating back to 1889. The building was closed in March 2007 for refurbishment and conversion to the United Kingdom Supreme Court.
Project As part of the these works The Ministry of Justice required a 21st century fire protection system to protect the nationally important central law library within the main building.
Requirements A key requirement of the design was that the fire protection system should be largely unseen, blending in with the antique style library furniture and bookshelves.
Solution Following competitive evaluation and extensive testing, Hydramist速 was selected for this project.
Testing Live fire tests with the Hydramist速 system demonstrated that stored materials suffered very minimal water damage and it was noted that the Hydramist速 system provided a greater
level of fire suppression than other competing suppression systems.
Visual Impact The requirement for minimal aesthetic impact of the system was easily satisfied by incorporating the nozzles within an existing suspended light rail. The Hydramist速 system supply piping was hidden above the bookcases and behind architectural wall mountings.
Conclusion The overall project Architects, Feilden & Mawson, were impressed by the experience and data that Watermist Limited were able to provide ensured that this project was carried out smoothly and to the entire satisfaction of all parties.
