Charter House in Eccles, one of 17 blocks to be retrofitted with sprinklers
Landlord ForViva Group has retrofitted sprinklers to 17 high-rise blocks in Salford and Knowsley at a cost of £5m.
ForViva, which manages 24,000 homes in the north west, said it was one of the first landlords in the country to announce such a plan following the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
Sprinklers have been fitted into all apartments, communal areas, bin rooms and scooter storage facilities in the tower blocks, which together contain around 1,300 homes. In addition, larger water tanks have been installed with the sprinkler system having its own separate booster water supply.
