A Great Connection
Albright College is known for its historic academic buildings and residence halls, many of which date back decades. While Albright's campus charm is undeniable, their facilities management team knows that older infrastructure can be especially vulnerable to harsh winter conditions. In past years, the facilities team stayed on high alert during cold snaps, concerned that an unseen pipe freeze could cause severe water damage, costly repairs, and campus disruptions.
In 2023, the Albright installed the Salamander Solution in high-risk areas. Salamander's patented technology monitors wet and dry fire sprinkler systems in real time, detecting early signs of pipe freeze before problems can escalate. Instant alerts now allow facilities staff to respond proactively within minutes instead of discovering issues after the fact, replacing guesswork and manual checks with this reliable, automated safeguard.
"The Salamander is working beautifully and doing everything we need it to do. We are finally capturing real-time information on an area that has historically been an issue throughout the winters!"
- Rick O'Leary
Associate Vice President of Facilities
Albright College
Since adopting Salamander, Albright has endured several cold spells without a single freeze incident in monitored areas. The facilities team enjoys new peace of mind and can focus on other priorities.
