Case Study
Valletta, LLC

Società Agricola La Valletta has launched a fire safety retrofit project at its facility in Medicina (BO) to ensure the safety of people and property and to maintain operational continuity. In a production environment where reliability and rapid response are essential, the chosen solution had to ensure Hydraulic Performance in line with the design and full compliance with applicable regulations.

Client requirements

The company needed:
  • comply with applicable fire prevention regulations;
  • protect staff and operations from potential fire hazards;
  • adopt a comprehensive and reliable solution with an appropriately sized water supply;
  • simplify the installation and management of the system, including routine maintenance over time.

Idroelettrica's proposal

In collaboration with the client’s design firm and following technical reviews, Idroelettrica proposed an integrated FIREBLOCK fire protection module, compliant with UNI EN 12845 and UNI 10779, with the following characteristics:
  • a system that is fully assembled, both electrically and hydraulically;
  • pressurization unit in a sub-atmospheric configuration (maximum reliability and uninterrupted power supply);
  • an integrated 80 m³ water reservoir, sized to meet the project’s performance requirements;
  • A solution designed to reduce installation time and simplify maintenance and inspection tasks.

The Result

The installation of FIREBLOCK at the Medicina (BO) facility proved to be the most suitable solution for ensuring, in an emergency, the Hydraulic Performance specified in the design and compliance with regulations. The customer also expressed interest in Idroelettrica’s after-sales service, particularly with regard to routine maintenance of the system.
