The project in brief

Rebuilding the Pucinni Theatre in Bari, allowed for the application of VID Fire-Kills low-pressure water mist systems. The theatre, which had suffered significant fire-damages during a fire in 1991, was to be completely fire-protected. This meant the protection of many different areas, requiring many different solutions.

Through the use of the installed VID Fire-Kill nozzles, these different solutions were limited to only a few:

Model OH-SW on walls,
Model OH-VSO for areas with ceiling heigths lower than 5 meters,
Model APS for the seating area and atriums,
Model APS-KIP for the attics.

Why was a VID Fire-Kill solution chosen?

High applicability of products,
Highly reliable,
Prevention of water damages, limiting damages to structurally weak points,
Easy to conceal nozzles,
Low water requirements,
Large coverage.

Some Specifics

The fire protection of the Pucinni Theatre featured and especially problematic area requiring fire protection.

The attic, which secured the decorated plaster-ceiling of the seating area, was very susceptible to water damages. Limiting the structural integrity of the attic and decorated ceiling would result in an immense cultural loss and cause a very hazardous environment. The solutions was the installation of the Model APS-Kip system, designed to protect attics and vaulted-ceilings with very low water consumption.
