Case story | SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system Isala Clinics in the Netherlands Large-scale hospital project protected with high-pressure water mist for fire fighting Danfoss Fire Safety A/S In 2008, clearance was given to construct a new, large and innovative 104,000 m² hospital at the Sophia location on Dokter van Heesweg in Zwolle, Netherlands: the Isala Clinics. In 2009, the construction of the impressive 210 million Euro building started, the hospital being scheduled for opening in the latter half of 2013 when the employees and first patients will start using it. Building description The new Isala Clinics will become one of the largest non-university hospitals in the Netherlands. The complex includes space for offices, research and treatment facilities, nursing wards, laboratories and other functions spread out across four buildings. The co-operation between Danfoss and Unica, official Danfoss business partner in the Netherlands, the client and the relevant authorities – the advisor, fire department and the inspection and certification agency R2B – has resulted in firm acknowledgement of the benefits provided by the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system for fire fighting. With all the tests and approvals in place, the decision was made to install SEM-SAFE®. Isala will become the first large-scale institutional project in the Netherlands to rely on high-pressure water mist protection. The complex is particularly appealing because of the organic style of the architecture and the interior garden and green landscape. www.semsafe.danfoss.com
