Case Study: Florida Department of Transportation achieves faster bridge fire protection installation with Victaulic

Florida Department of Transportation improves fire protection on I-4 bridges with Victaulic

The Florida Department of Transportation faced a challenge during its I-4 Ultimate Improvement Project, as fire chiefs were concerned that long stretches of the highway lacked immediate water access for fire protection. To address this, Victaulic provided its grooved piping solutions, including Style 75 Flexible Couplings, for the new standpipe system.

Victaulic's solution enabled contractor SGL Construction to quickly and easily install the fire suppression system on bridges and overpasses, mitigating risks associated with high traffic volume and compressing the construction schedule. The mechanically grooved system also simplified future maintenance and potential expansion, ensuring long-term operational efficiency for the Florida Department of Transportation.
