A Commitment to Safety and Comfort 

Trivallis, one of the largest registered social landlords in Wales, oversees more than 10,000 properties in Rhondda Cynon Taff and Cardiff Bay. Committed to ensuring safe and comfortable living environments, Trivallis, with the expert support of Sureserve Compliance Fire, initiated a significant project to retrofit a residential sprinkler system into an existing high assisted living complex in South Wales. 

This project, running from August 2024 to March 2025, enhanced resident life safety by installing a modern sprinkler system. Trivallis, together with Sureserve Compliance Fire, who shared the same values and commitment to safety and community well-being, focused on improving the quality of life for its residents through effective solutions. 

With extensive expertise in managing all regulatory requirements—including CDM (Construction Design and Management) regulations, planning permissions, and fire safety standards—Sureserve Compliance Fire ensured full compliance throughout the project. Their ability to navigate complex regulatory frameworks provided a Total Managed Solution, streamlining approvals and minimising risk for Trivallis. 

Ensuring Safety with Strategic Planning 

To achieve the goal of enhancing resident safety, the Sureserve Compliance Fire team conducted a thorough assessment of the building to determine the optimal locations for the sprinkler system components. This included identifying a suitable location for the water supply tank that would not obstruct views from the windows or take up garden space. 

Ensuring Minimal Disruption for Residents 

The project aimed to ensure that the installation process was minimally disruptive to the residents while maintaining the aesthetic and functional aspects of the living complex. The Sureserve Compliance Fire team was flexible with dates and times, ensuring that the installation caused as little inconvenience as possible. This thoughtful approach helped foster cooperation and support from the residents. By accommodating their needs and treating them with respect, the team built positive relationships, making the residents more inclined to assist and cooperate throughout the installation process. 

Building a Safer Future Together  

The retro-fit sprinkler system project in South Wales is a great example of how effective collaboration and respectful project management can lead to successful outcomes. By prioritising the safety and comfort of the residents, Trivallis, with the help of Sureserve Compliance Fire, has made a lasting positive impact on the community. This project stands as a testament to Trivallis' dedication to enhancing the quality of life for their residents through innovative and effective solutions.
