Design and Installation

Industrial fire and explosion incidents are among the most devastating and costly due to working conditions, cost of process equipment and high risk of the operations in general. Many industrial facilities use flammable liquids at or near their flashpoint in day-to-day operation and process. The main goal in Industrial Fire Protection is occupant evacuation and then asset protection. Every Industrial Hazard is unique, many facilities are similar but no two are identical. Therefore, each project is carefully analyzed by conducting a fire risk assessment and evaluation to determine the best fire protection application. Many factors are considered before a project hits the drawing board such as:

Means of occupant egress Building/process construction Flammable liquid quantity and storage arrangement Burn rate, fire and smoke spread rate Toxic fume involvement Identifying potential sources of ignition Existing fire protection system infrastructure condition Water quality/quantity availability Operating practices Manned or unmanned operations Geographical availability of municipal or mutual aid

After an adequate fire risk assessment and evaluation is conducted, a conceptual design is rendered, then discussed among our team of experienced fire protection professionals to determine the final design and application. After the conceptual design is complete a detailed package is forwarded to the Authority Having Jurisdiction for final approval before any material is ordered or installation begins.

Foam System Services A vast majority of foam systems receive less than minimum proper maintenance mainly due to the lack of trained field inspectors. Many systems were initially installed improperly and have never operated properly from day one. If your organization is in the process of procuring or merging with another entity and you want to make certain their fire protection systems are up to your standards we can conduct a full system analysis for you to use during the negotiating phase.
