| Dupont Business Archives opens its new facility in Bristol, Conn. |
Dupont Business Archives has consolidated and relocated its records center to a new facility in Bristol, Conn.
Don Dupont, president and owner, says the company expects to have more than 300,000 records boxes in storage at the new facility by the end of this year.
The 36,000-square-foot records storage facility provides more than 1.2 million cubic feet of storage space. Dupont says the 40-foot high building can be expanded to 2.8 million cubic feet.
The facility includes an NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) 13-compliant fire protection system.
The new site includes a 20,000-cubic-foot fireproof vault with temperature/humidity controls monitored around the clock. The vault has a four-hour fire rating and is equipped with a primary FM200 fire suppression system and a secondary high pressure sprinkler system that adheres to the state of Connecticut’s fire code, according to the company.
The new facility includes infrared motion detection, digital closed circuit TV, access control throughout the building and a 24-hour central station monitoring of fire, sprinkler and security systems.
