Fire protection company Capitol Fire Sprinkler announced the successful completion of a comprehensive sprinkler system installation on the sixth floor of 330 West 34th St. The project encompassed the replacement and installation of 519 upright sprinklers equipped with Victaulic brand fittings across a full, 34,500-square-foot floor. The space was divided by landlord Vornado Realty Trust into four pre-built office suites, along with bathrooms and corridors.
The project includes a new, 7,776-square-foot office suite for multinational construction firm Structure Tone. Serving as the general contractor, Structure Tone drew on its familiarity with the building, where the firm has had its New York headquarters on the 11th and 12th floors since 2016.
“Installing a fire sprinkler system in a prewar building presents unique challenges, particularly in ensuring that the system is both code-compliant and aligned with the design intent of the space,” said Capitol Fire Sprinkler President Adam Levine.
The sixth-floor space, featuring ceilings approximately 12 feet high, now boasts a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with exposed sprinkler heads meticulously integrated within 10-foot-high beams across the entire area. The installation was completed over a short, several-week period.
