Power Station Building Upgrades
The project aims to enhance the battery backup rooms in power stations to meet current fire protection standards. The existing rooms, constructed several years ago, often lack sufficient fire prevention materials. Although clients provided initial designs, these were generally generic and required frequent revisions, as they were originally developed for different buildings and did not consistently align with the specific conditions of the current facilities.
