The primary fire hazards in warehouses are commonly associated with electrical transformers, electrical panels, low and medium voltage rooms and other peripheral equipment for logistics processes. Fire protection strategies to counteract these hazards can vary between different facilities. Ten Brinke fire protection strategy to safeguard people and operations focuses on mission-critical electrical equipment internal protection. Fire in such equipment and its spread to host areas can cause severe damage, downtime and endanger people’s lives.
Design, install and commission a reliable automatic fire suppression system for early fire detection and suppression within mission-critical electrical equipment. The fire extinguishing technology needs to be effective against multiple classes of fire, require little maintenance, be environmentally friendly and have a small footprint since the spaces are limited. The fire protection systems need to be able to protect from any type of fire with rapid extinguishing action in order to minimize any potential damage and operations downtime.
Foremostly because of FirePro’s long-standing expertise in analogous projects. Secondly, because FirePro solutions are versatile, reliable, and effective with a 15-year product lifespan. Furthermore, they cover multiple classes of fire, are non-pressurized, relatively easy to install, have a low cost of ownership and maintenance required is minimal. Finally, FirePro remains ecologically and environmentally friendly pre-and post-discharge as it will not contaminate the environment with harmful substances. All in all Firepro is adjudged to be the best fit-for-purpose technology for the protection of these key assets.
Tenberco, a subsidiary company, selected the FirePro solution since it combined all the operational and technical parameters necessary for these mission-critical assets. EMD Constructions installed the system according to European standards and requirements.
FirePro Hellas specialists carried out the commissioning with all the required safety arrangements within the specific time frame. The premises are now protected 24/7 from various fire hazards with an efficient and ecofriendly fire protection system.
