A NOTE ABOUT THIS PROJECT:
“Lands' End was concerned about protecting the critical equipment in their data centers. In the B6 data center, an Ecaro-25 fire suppression system was added to supplement the existing double-interlock preaction sprinkler system. The unique challenge with this system was that all work had to be done while their equipment was in operation. Our foreman used extra care around the critical equipment while installing the system, which resulted in a transparent installation for the customer. This allowed them to continue their daily operations with no interruptions or down time.”
