Project:	Comet—Warehouse Distribution Centre
Client:	Exel
Location:	Skelmersdale
Main Contractor:	MARSHALL CONSTRUCTION
Project Value:	£650K

The Comet distribution centre required careful consideration when it came to the design of the fire sprinkler installation, as the client required considerable freedom to change the rack storage system. This type of flexibility is difficult to accommodate with a traditional in-rack and roof sprinkler system which is traditionally used for this type of risk.

Armstrong Priestley, together with the clients consultants and fire underwriters, proposed to utilise an Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) sprinkler system which only requires sprinklers to be installed at roof level and which allows goods to be stored up to 12.2m high.
