Western
States Fire Protection retrofitted fire sprinkler
systems in the Embassy Suites Hotel in Corpus Christi,
Texas. This project also included installing
a new fire pump and standpipe system.
A wet pipe fire sprinkler system was used throughout
the building.

Soffit
in Atrium Hallway |
The
retrofit of all suite levels meant holes had to be
cut in the existing soffits in each room to install
the fire sprinklers. The holes were then patched
up and wallpaper and paint were selected to match
the existing decor in each room.
In the atrium hallways sheet rock soffits were built to conceal new fire
sprinkler piping. The wallpaper, painting, soffits and fire alarm work
were all done under Western States Fire Protection's contract by subcontractors.
In the picture to the right you see a sidewall fire sprinkler head on the
side of the soffit. |

In
the pool room you see poly coated upright pendant
fire sprinkler heads. These fire sprinkler heads
were used here because there is not a ceiling. |

Because
the hotel was open during the course of the project,
scheduling was an important consideration. Western
States Fire Protection planned its work around the
hotel's scheduled use of each room, kept noise to
a minimum and kept work areas clean.
