Before the Norman Conquest of 1066, Norwich was one of the largest towns in England. The conquerors built a castle and a cathedral, and established a new market place that is still in use today.

Understandably, Norwich Building Control and local fire authorities strictly govern building use and requests for structural alterations within this compact city.

Johnson Controls were appointed by Bovis Lend Lease Limited to design and install a “wet riser” hydrant system throughout the shopping complex so that the fire brigade can connect their fire hoses direct to the hydrant main and fight any large fire immediately and independently without the need for the involvement of their fire fighting vehicles.

In addition, Johnson Controls provided a life safety sprinkler system “infrastructure” throughout the complex under an extremely demanding installation programme.
