EXCELLENCE IN CRAFTSMANSHIP – FIRE PROTECTION
WAYMAN FIRE PROTECTION
DuPont - Ruthar Drive
This project consisted of the retro-fitting of an existing 350,000 sq. ft. warehouse for different usage. Wayman was contracted to design and install a fire protection system that included
a wet sprinkler system, fire pump, pre-action system, and fire detection system under the owner’s non-negotiable design specifications. Wayman specifically designed the project to enable the customer to achieve their open- concept floor plan and operation specifications. The Wayman team had to rethink installation over traditional systems to meet the customer’s need, for example by removing an exterior block wall, hiring a crane and rigging team, and custom-building a rolling system to roll the pre-engineered pump into place. This creative and innovative planning is what set this project apart and makes it worthy of a Construction Excellence Award.
