Case Study
Leroy Merlin

For the opening of the new Leroy Merlin store within the Casamassima Retail Park (province of Bari), Idroelettrica was commissioned to design and supply a fire protection pumping system that complies with current regulations, ensuring operational continuity, safety, and ease of management.

Client requirements

The rapid expansion of the Leroy Merlin group called for a reliable and compliant solution for the fire suppression pressurization system at the new store. The customer required a pump-set capable of delivering the required flow rate, with a compact footprint, ease of maintenance, and the ability to remotely monitor alarm signals.

Idroelettrica's proposal

After a detailed analysis of the site specifications and fire safety regulations, Idroelettrica supplied a pressurization system consisting of:
  • 3 modules with motor-driven pumps + 1 Jockey Pump (a configuration in which 2 pumps operate simultaneously and 1 remains on standby);
  • 3 fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 350 L, complete with a sump and a transfer pump;
  • Electrical panel for alarm repetition in a manned control room, which allows for remote monitoring and verification of malfunctions of the pump-set. The system was sized and installed in accordance with applicable regulations to ensure performance and reliability.

The Result

The Idroelettrica solution proved to be the most advantageous choice for Leroy Merlin: simplified routine and non-routine maintenance, compact footprint, and regulatory compliance. By routing alarms to a manned monitoring station, it was possible to ensure continuous monitoring and prompt response when necessary.
