Fire protectionmore than just containing fire
All buildings in which people are present must have a carefully and well-thought-out fire protection concept. It is not just about containing the fire. Fire protection plays a crucial role in saving lives. Slowing down fire and smoke gains time for the evacuation and the fire service has an easier time saving lives and putting out the fire. Fire protection measures include, for example, fire doors and ceilings.
Fire protection in industry is a very important issue, because fires can cause considerable damage.
- Preventive fire protection: This includes organisational, technical and structural measures to prevent fires. Measures such as regular fire drills, the installation of fire alarm systems and the use of fireproof materials.
- Fire-fighting measures: This includes measures such as the provision of fire extinguishers and the training of fire protection assistants.
- Legal requirements: Companies must meet various legal requirements, such as drawing up a fire protection concept and regularly reviewing fire protection measures.
- Insurance: Comprehensive fire protection can also reduce insurance premiums, because well-protected companies are classified as less risky.
- Specific challenges: Industrial buildings often have particular fire risks, such as in steelworks or warehouses. Individual and flexible fire protection solutions are therefore required.
- Through rigorous fire protection management, companies can not only protect their employees and property, they can also minimise business interruptions and financial losses.
Our range of services includes the structural fire protection measures, in particular partitions play a crucial role in preventing the spread of fires.
- Partitioning principle: This principle ensures that a fire does not spread from one area to another.
- Fire walls and ceilings: These components are highly fire resistant and prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
- Fire collars: These are placed around pipes that run through walls and ceilings to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
- Fire protection boards and coatings: Ventilation and air conditioning ducts and beams are covered with special fire protection boards or intumescent coatings that expand in the event of a fire and keep out the heat.
- Complex partition walls: These special walls provide additional protection and are often used in large building complexes.
