Case story | SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system The New University Hospital (DNU) in Aarhus, Denmark One of the largest water mist for fire fighting installations in Denmark’s first super-hospital Danfoss Fire Safety A/S The new University hospital in Skejby, Aarhus (DNU) is Denmark’s first super hospital. The hospital will not only provide quality treatment, but will also be a prestigious learning and training centre with modern research facilities. The project is a pioneer for the development of “Healing Architecture” in the hospital sector and is designed to meet the future demands for patient treatment and procedures. Building description Construction started in 2012 and is expected to be finalized in 2020. Upon completion, the hospital will be the same size as a Danish provincial town, with its own buildings, streets and neighborhoods. DNU will be added to the existing three-storey Aarhus University hospital in Skejby to form a combined hospital complex of approximately 400,000 m² with buildings between four and eighteen storeys. Ensuring fire protection for a structure of this size and with a large number of staff, patients and visitors is a high priority. In line with this state-of-the-art hospital, SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system for fire fighting from Danfoss was chosen for fire protection of the DNU hospital. www.semsafe.danfoss.com
