Case Study: El Dorado International Airport achieves reliable fire protection with Victaulic

El Dorado International Airport protects 30 million annual passengers with Victaulic

El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia, required a new fire protection system for its aeronautical center and control tower in 2016. The challenge involved protecting sensitive equipment and confined spaces while meeting stringent safety objectives. Victaulic was selected to provide specialized fire protection products and solutions.

Victaulic implemented a compact preaction system using FireLock NXT valves for the water-sensitive control room, alongside a zone control riser for the wet sprinkler system in tighter tower areas. Their grooved coupling products in the pump room enabled faster, reliable installation. The solution provided a reliable fire protection system that benefited construction, simplified future maintenance, and helped secure the critical facility serving over 30 million annual passengers.
