East Coast Health Care Network Installs Updated Fire Sprinklers for a Safer Environment

By Julie Brown, global director of business transformation, Johnson Controls

A large east coast health care network had growing concerns over the safety of its sprinkler heads and decided to install new ones. Due to the nature of work and size of the facilities, in addition to requirements around ligature to help keep patients safe, experience with large scale installations and minimal disruption of operations were key considerations in choosing what company to work with.

Selecting the right partner: experience is key

Johnson Controls was chosen for the installation and associated labor based on its depth of experience and capabilities when it comes to large scale projects. The team installed the Tyco Raven sprinkler head in all the facilities in the network. Designed to be unobtrusive, the Tyco Raven is perfectly flat and flushes right up into the ceiling, minimizing the possibility for tampering and resulting nuisance alarms. This not only creates a safer, healthier environment for patients and staff, but helps minimize expensive repairs and fines that can cut into budgets.

Powering the customer’s mission with minimal disruption

With help from Johnson Controls, the health care network was able to install the new sprinklers with little disruption to daily activities, ensuring they can continue their work to improve patient health while creating a safer, more cost-effective environment.
