The brief

Pump room electrical, monitoring and suppression controls.

WSD delivered the complete electrical, control and monitoring scope across the pump room and associated suppression infrastructure on this Materials Recovery Facility project. The work covered sprinkler and hydrant pump wiring, pre-action and deluge control, and the network of monitoring signals that gives the building’s third-party interface live visibility of every key signal across the pump room.
