The Scientific Library of the State University of Management is one of the largest university libraries in Russia and boasts a unique collection of books. To ensure fire safety and preserve the library's collection, a new fire suppression system was installed.
The custom-designed and implemented automatic water fire extinguishing system takes into account current regulations, the building's architecture, the intended use of the premises, and the load on utility systems. The design underwent a fire safety review at the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations' fire testing laboratory.
The system is a complex of modern technical means designed for the early detection, localization, and extinguishing of fires. Fire is extinguished using a water mist that does not cause significant damage to books or equipment. The system is activated locally—the water mist is released only in rooms where the temperature has exceeded 57°C. The system is installed using modern BLOCKFIRE plastic piping, which has a service life of over 50 years.
Installation and commissioning of the system were carried out in strict accordance with regulations without interrupting library operations.
Ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and funds always remains a priority for the State University of Management.
