Fire Protection Installation
College of the Sequoias CTE Complex Institutional Fire Protection for a Multi-Building Campus Project
Dexore provided fire protection installation services as a subcontractor on the College of the Sequoias Career Technical Education (CTE) Complex in Visalia, California. This project represents a large-scale, institutional educational facility designed to support hands-on workforce training across multiple trades.
Our role focused on delivering code-compliant, inspection-ready fire sprinkler systems across a multi-structure campus environment, requiring close coordination and disciplined execution.
Project Overview
- Project Name: College of the Sequoias – Career Technical Education (CTE) Complex
- Location: Tulare, California

Project Size & Scope
The CTE Complex consists of approximately 36,000 square feet of new construction, delivered across three separate buildings on the college campus. The project also includes a fire pump house supporting the complex and an expansive exterior training yard with covered structures.
The facilities were designed to support multiple career and technical education programs, including:
- Construction technology
- Electrical and industrial training
- Welding and fabrication
- Automotive and maintenance programs
- Agriculture and mechanical trades
The scope required fire protection systems that met institutional standards, supported long-term campus use, and passed inspection without delay.
Dexore’s Fire Protection Role
Dexore’s Fire Sprinkler Division supported the project by installing fire protection systems that aligned with approved plans, inspection requirements, and the overall construction schedule.
Our work included:
- Fire sprinkler system installation across multiple buildings
- Coordination with the general contractor and project team
- Compliance with institutional and AHJ requirements
- Inspection-ready execution and documentation
Working within an active campus environment required careful planning, coordination, and attention to detail, particularly across multiple structures and shared infrastructure.
This project demonstrates Dexore’s ability to support large, institutional construction projects with complex coordination needs and strict inspection requirements.
Key takeaways include:
- Experience working on multi-building campus projects
- Proven ability to deliver code-compliant fire protection systems
- Effective coordination with general contractors and inspectors
- Reliable execution on inspection-driven schedules
The project was completed successfully, and our performance was well-received by the project team.
