HI-FOG® for hotels

 Protecting people, property
and business continuity

The bustling life of hotels can come to a sudden and

unforgiving halt when a fire occurs. Rapid recovery after a
fire is a priority in fire protection. With fast suppression and
control of fire using small amounts of water, HI-FOG® keeps
damage and downtime to minimum.

HI-FOG® benefits:
• Minimal damage and clean up

• Fast business recovery

• Safe for people

In controlled demonstrations comparing HI-FOG® to a traditional sprinkler
system, HI-FOG® used nearly ten times less water to bring the fire under control.

Fire destroys commercial assets worth In a controlled demonstration, one

billions every year. The damage is caused
by both fire and the water used to fight
it. Traditional water-based systems rely
on wetting to fight fire. The flooding is
devastating and can spread far beyond
the fire area. Business is lost as weeks or
even months pass repairing damage.
There is a way to make water more ef-
fective in fighting fire. HI-FOG® sup-
presses fire by discharging a fine water
mist at high velocity, swiftly controlling
and suppressing a fire while minimizing
smoke-related damage.

Le Méridien Etoile, Paris. Marriott Renaissance at St. Pancras International, London.

Heritage site renovation
The old Midlands hotel at St. Pancras
Station in London was reborn as the
five-star luxury Marriott Renaissance
at St. Pancras International. Finding its
rightful place on the English Heritage
list, this magnificent building was saved
from demolition and turned into luxury
apartments atop a new Marriott hotel.
Minimizing structural impact was para-
mount. Thanks to the narrow HI-FOG®
tubing, existing spaces could be used
to run the tubing into each individual
room. The system is fed by a full capac-
ity standalone water tank and HI-FOG®
pump unit installed in a small basement
vault room.
The HI-FOG® system was also extended
upwards to protect both the apartments
above the hotel. This allowed local au-
thorities to give a concession allowing
the building owners to forgo installing
a fire barrier between the hotel and
apartments, saving money and structure
integrity.
ou can rely on

With the fire tests

on site, we were
able to determine that
HI-FOG® was the most
practical solution for meeting
the requirements as well
as for optimizing other fire
protection measures,” says

manager at Alpine-Bau,

Modern high-rise protection
The new 32-story Zoofenster high-rise
is the tallest in western Berlin. Located
near the famous Tiergarten, the building
will house luxury suites, office space and
a 5-star hotel with conference facilities.
As fire safety is a major concern in all
high-rises, the builders were faced with
a challenge in securing the safety of fu-
ture residents and guests. The original
plans included a conventional sprinkler
system, but tough fire protection re-
quirements would have necessitated ad-
ditional measures.
Marioff’s HI-FOG® water mist fire pro-
tection was introduced as an alternative
after construction had already started.
Fire tests carried out on site showed that
HI-FOG® had the performance needed
to meet requirements.
Working closely with the technical con-
sultants on the project, Marioff helped
find the right solutions for the building
owner. HI-FOG® will protect all spaces
in the building, from the floors below
ground to office and hotel spaces in the
middle and the luxury suites on top.

Innovative hotel design
Applying the decades of experience
creating modular systems for marine
applications, Marioff has developed a
HI-FOG® solution for the new CitizenM
hotel chain. CitizenM uses a new build-
ing concept to create affordable luxury
hotels for the modern traveller. One of
their newest, CitizenM in London, will
be protected by HI-FOG®.

The hotels of CitizenM use a modular
construction with the bedroom pods
produced in a central factory that are
shipped to site for incorporating into
the main structure. The main challenge
was the restricted space to fit the pipes
for the fire protection system. A demon-
stration at the pod factory was made to
show how easily the HI-FOG® tubing fit-
ted into tight spacing.
Marriott’s first in Algeria
Continuing a long-standing success-
ful partnership between Marriott and
Marioff, HI-FOG® was slected to protect
the beautifully styled 5-star Renaissance
Tlemcen Hotel, a Mediterranean jewel in
Marriott’s crown.
Visitors enjoy a wide range of high
quality services, and Marriott wanted
to sure they get an equally high level of
fire protection. They needed a solution
that could protect literally every space in
the hotel: guest rooms, corridors, equip-

ment rooms, the main lobby, storage
room, high-ceiling conference rooms, a
disco and more.
The project was a massive, international
undertaking for Marioff. The HI-FOG®
system protects nearly 440,000 square
meters (430,556 square feet) of space.
And yet it was very important to keep fire
protection discrete for this luxury hotel.
Careful planning and compact system
components allowed for quick and easy
installation, minimizing interruptions to
hotel operations.

Seclusion on the Wye
Situated in a pristine landscape, the
Aspen Wye River Conference Centers
features both rustic and contemporary
buildings. This unique and spectacular
retreat posed considerable challenges
for a fire protection system.

part of the challenge. The facility cannot
draw from a public water supply, so a
traditional sprinkler system would have
needed a massive 102,206 liter (27,000
gallon) water tank.
This was unacceptable for the owners
who wanted a fire protection system that
preserves the aesthetics so appreciated
by discriminating clientele.
