Perhaps new legislation requires fire sprinkler protection in your existing facilities. Or remodeling triggers a code requirement to upgrade your fire protection. Or you seek the safety and peace of mind that fire sprinkler protection provides. SimplexGrinnell’s unrivalled experience in retrofitting sprinklers in all kinds of facilities can simplify the process for you.

Our Retrofit program is one of our company's strengths. We have been retrofitting sprinklers in existing facilities since the outset of the invention of fire sprinklers. Our program, having a history that dates back to the late 1800's, began with us working with various insurance companies to protect their interests in property protection. Today it takes us to hospitals and nursing homes; major hotels; bars and nightclubs; education facilities; high-rise office buildings; historic sites including the Statue of Liberty; sports stadiums…and many more locations.

For retrofit projects, SimplexGrinnell serves as the Design-Build Contractor much as a General Contractor oversees new construction or major renovations. We call our program "Construction Plus" because of the various options we are able to offer, which include solicitation of sub bids, complete design drawings, turnkey project offerings, and much more to meet your needs. As members of the Design-Build Institute of America, we understand what it takes to complete sprinkler retrofits on time and on budget.  We even offer financing that spreads the cost over a multi-year period, allowing important fire protection to proceed before it is fully funded.

Our Project Managers oversee the work of any subcontractors required for a turnkey project, including ceiling removal and replacement, painting and other restoration. And, of course, we work with the local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) to ensure smooth approval of your newly installed system.

If your project includes additional life-safety technologies, the fact that SimplexGrinnell also installs fire alarm, integrated security and building communications allows us to provide a convenient, one-source solution with very competitive pricing.
