by jbs022110 d3 — February 24, 2010—The U.K.’s BRE Global has recently completed a research project for The British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA) that investigates the growth and spread of a fire in and between cars in a car park stacking system installed with a sprinkler system.
The project follows the “Fire Spread in Car Parks” testing BRE Global completed for Communities and Local Government (CLG) Sustainable Buildings Division research program in 2009.
BAFSA says the BRE Global research provides valuable information for sprinkler contractors, specifiers and others with an interest in the innovative parking systems.
Details of the testing can be found in the newly published report, which highlights the potential benefits of installing a sprinkler system into a car park stacker, providing the system is designed for the specific risk and with the installation based on appropriate standards and guidance.
