Mancheste, NH – Hampshire Fire Protection Co., Inc. is installing an automatic fire sprinkler system with approximately 3,200 fire sprinkler heads at the new Elliot at River’s Edge in downtown Manchester.
Known as the largest development project in Manchester in over 30 years, The Elliot at River’s Edge is getting closer to completion as Hampshire Fire Protection installs the fire sprinkler system in the 236,000sf ambulatory care center as well as the 700 car parking garage.
This fast paced project, under contractor Suffolk/Eckman Joint Venture, will replace the old Jac Pac Foods meat packing plant with a health care campus consisting of medical, office, residential and retail spaces.
Hampshire Fire Protection Co., Inc. is utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to install the fire protection piping, which reduces waste and inefficiency in the building design and construction.
BIM provides all sub-contractors with shared up-to-date project information and detailed locations of all building components, assuring a smooth design and installation of the fire sprinkler system.
The development is scheduled to be completed in March 2011.
