Case Study
Cotonella S.p.A.

After the severe fire in 2016, Cotonella quickly resumed full operations at its historic headquarters along State Road 42, with an expanded and renovated facility: wooden elements, a large glass wall, and an eight-pitched roof supported by laminated wood trusses that evoke mountain architecture. To complete the project, the company requested the installation of a fire suppression system at its logistics center in the nearby town of Edolo as well, with particular attention paid to ensuring it blends aesthetically with the company’s colors.

Client requirements

The client needed:
  • complete the fire safety measures for the buildings, including the logistics center in Edolo;
  • adopt a reliable and modern solution capable of ensuring the Hydraulic Performance specified in the design;
  • integrate the system with the architectural context and the plant layout;
  • Customize the utility room and water storage area with a RAL 8019 finish, in keeping with the company’s visual identity.

Idroelettrica's proposal

Idroelettrica has proposed a compact system with an integrated equipment room and water reservoir: FIREBLOCK, a reliable, pre-assembled active protection solution.Key Features:
  • FIREBLOCK system with a utility room and integrated water storage tank, ready for installation;
  • Manufactured with a special color requested by the customer (RAL 8019) for aesthetic integration;
  • a design intended to ensure Hydraulic Performance and ease of operation and maintenance;
  • A solution designed to reduce construction time through factory pre-assembly.

The Result

The fully pre-assembled solution fully met Cotonella’s client requirements in terms of Hydraulic Performance and aesthetic integration. The project underscores the importance of balancing technical and regulatory requirements with quality, commercial, and image considerations, thereby contributing to customer satisfaction.
