Winterize with Troy Life & Fire Safety
Winterize your dry pipe systems to avoid frost damaged piping and floods.
Each Fall, all dry pipe systems must be winterized (drain/blow down all low point drains).
Due to Canada’s diverse weather conditions, condensation continually forms in dry pipe systems. Eventually this condensation settles to the low point drains requiring additional winterizing (draining).
It is the owner’s responsibility to check and drain “low point drains” of collected condensation prior to any cold weather. Not only can we provide this additional winterizing service to you, we can also provide training to your staff on how to perform this procedure correctly.

NFPA Safety Alert on Antifreeze in Sprinkler Systems
The NFPA has issued an important safety alert on the use of antifreeze in sprinkler systems.
Here is an excerpt: Following reports of a fire incident involving a sprinkler system that contained a high concentration antifreeze solution, research and standards development activities were begun to address concerns raised by the combustibility of antifreeze solutions in residential sprinkler systems. As information became available, NFPA published two successive Safety Alerts providing guidance from NFPA in its role as a safety advocate and announcing Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) to NFPA sprinkler standards that were issued by the NFPA Standards Council. The TIAs and the additional NFPA guidance offered in those Safety Alerts were interim actions while the responsible standards development Technical Committees reviewed the results of the research and reached consensus on further amendments to the NFPA sprinkler standards.

World-Class Suppression for the Vancouver Convention Centre
In time for the 2010 winter Olympics, the Vancouver Convention Centre has undergone a dramatic expansion, tripling the existing Convention Centre’s capacity. It will be the home of the Olympic Games media and broadcast centres. The Vancouver Convention Centre Expansion Project (VCCEP) spanned 1.1 million square feet of function space, parking, retail and support spaces over 6 levels, surrounded on three sides by the Burrard Inlet. The VCC has become a new Vancouver landmark, and is a venture that we are proud to have been a part of.
