Nestlé Purina Pet Care is one of the largest pet food manufacturers in the world, based in Switzerland. Its long-term investment plan includes a strong commitment to safety. In all stages of construction of its new national distribution center, it entrusted Vernassa with the implementation of its fire protection system.
Location
Ruta 11 Km. 457 Santo Tomé, provincia de Santa Fe.
Duration
The project took a total of 150 calendar days from its start.
Features
Fire protection installations
The protection of the entire surface of the new distribution center (20,000 m²) is being completed, with an extinguishing system based on ESFR-type sprinklers, interior and exterior hydrants, and manual fire extinguishers. To complete the protection, a fire detection system with infrared barriers, manual emergency exit alarms, and evacuation sirens is being installed. All systems were designed in accordance with NFPA requirements.
Our work
Installations
The provision of the fire protection system is comprehensive, including construction and detail engineering, material supply, and assembly. At this stage, the network was expanded for the protection of the new “Distribution Center,” providing full protection to the warehouse with the mentioned systems. It was necessary to meet Vernassa’s usual quality standards, with the added challenge of working alongside other contractors, as the fire protection system was assembled as the warehouse was being built, along with the other services. This required strategic coordination of resources to minimize risks on-site and interfere as little as possible with other tasks.
