Background
Northwest Sprinkler is proud to provide fire suppression design and engineering services for Lacovia, a major luxury residential development currently under construction on Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach.
The redevelopment consists of three residential buildings with 88 residences, along with a dedicated amenity building supporting the wider property.
With multiple buildings, a variety of residential layouts and extensive amenity spaces. Lacovia represents a significant coordinated fire suppression design project and an exciting international milestone for Northwest Sprinkler.
Fire Suppression Design Across a Multi-Building Development:
Northwest Sprinkler’s scope encompasses the three residential buildings and amenity building, requiring fire suppression design to be coordinated across a range of different spaces and building conditions.
On a project of this scale, sprinkler design must work as part of the overall building design. Accordingly, Sprinkler coverage, system routing and equipment locations all need to be developed while accounting for architectural layouts and coordination with other building systems.
Our work includes developing the fire suppression design and engineering documentation required to move the project from design through construction, while maintaining a practical and coordinated approach across each building.
Our Approach:
Large residential developments require continual coordination as architectural and building-service designs evolve.
Our approach is to identify potential conflicts early, maintain clear communication with the wider project team. Particularly, we develop fire suppression systems that balance life-safety requirements, constructability and the architectural intent of the project.
Lacovia also represents an important milestone for Northwest Sprinkler as we bring the experience developed through complex projects in British Columbia to an international development. Team members traveled internationally to ensure that the project was completed smoothly and effectively.
So, whether we’re working in Vancouver or Grand Cayman, our focus remains the same: thoughtful engineering, strong coordination and reliable fire protection design.
Safety doesn’t have borders.
