Fire & Explosion Protection are ALL we do.
We provide advanced fire and explosion protection solutions, systems, and maintenance that restrict or prevent damage and interruptions to commercial properties and processes.
Whether suggesting a new solution or maintaining existing equipment, we endeavor to assess each client's risk potential with high attention to detail. We examine every aspect of your operations—including those you may not yet realize are at risk—and make recommendations based on national and regional fire codes and regulations.
Here are some types of systems that we daily supply, configure, install, and maintain.
Special Hazard Fire Suppression Systems:
These include "Clean Agent" (water-less) systems which utilize Inergen, Argon, Argonite, Amerex / Novec wheeled units, FM-200, FE-13, FE-25, Novec-1230, high and low pressure CO2, Ecaro and other inert gases. All of these products offer non-destructive use both to your high value assets (computers, robots, machines, etc.) and the environment. *Clean agent gases are ozone-free.
These special hazard fire suppression systems are typically used to protect high volume industrial manufacturing areas that utilize crucial pieces of equipment which would devastate production if lost or damaged. Some of our most common clients of these systems manufacture cars, food, chemicals, pigments, pharmaceuticals, metals, and computers.
Explosion Suppression & Isolation
We routinely install and inspect various explosion protection solutions, including ATEX certified explosion vents, flameless explosion venting, high and standard rate discharge fire suppression systems, isolation systems, and a variety of detectors and alarms.
Explosion Suppression / Isolation Systems employ extremely sensitive technology which is capable of producing activation and combustion interrupting agent release in roughly half the time it takes a person to blink an eye. These systems most often protect any area or individual piece of equipment where a deflegration (a subsonic speed combustion, which leads to supersonic detonation/explosion) might be caused by fibrous, food, chemical, metal, etc. particulates being gathered within an isolated chamber.
Each system design is based on specific hazards, volume of particulate within collectors, positive/neutral/negative pressures, and any other combustible materials potentially involved.
Very Early Warning Smoke Detection Systems
These types of systems offer some of the fastest response times of any fire protection technology. Through continuous air sampling and analysis (up to 10,000 times the sensitivity of a traditional smoke detector), they provide detailed monitoring and automatic alerts to any configured desktop or mobile device. These systems can also cover hundreds of spot locations per unit depending on your needs and requirements.
We are a regional leading distributor of Xtralis, the creators of this technology, and have installed hundreds of their VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detecting Apparatus) Systems in a variety of facilities, with which our customers have been very happy. The most popular application for these systems is without a doubt mission critical data centers, cloud storage facilities, and telecommunication hubs, but can also be used in apartments, hotels, retail shops, offices, correctional facilities, clean rooms, cold storage, cultural/heritage sites, museums, hospitals and other medical facilities, insurance, marine applications, nuclear facilities, oil and gas production, portable switch rooms, power generation, records storage, wind power generation, and warehouses.
Fire Alarm Systems
We are highly experienced in designing and/or modifying intelligent, addressable fire alarm & control panels, verbal annunciating devices for high rise buildings, smoke detectors and horn strobes, and a wide variety of gas, flame, and heat detection. We also provide our own central station monitoring at competitive rates.
Water Mist Fire Protection Systems
While these are typically not products that we recommend for most facilities, there are some applications for which they are appropriate. If you are considering a system of this kind for an area or process, PLEASE BE AWARE that any water-based system provides high risk to—if not the complete loss of—valuable assets upon which your operations might depend.
We are happy to provide more information about these concerns as well as detailed comparisons between water mist / sprinkler type protection systems and their alternatives.
Pre-engineered Dry Chemical Systems
We assemble and deliver pre-engineered and skid mounted systems for processes or equipment that may be served by their own, need-specific determined automatic suppression system.
High Speed Water Deluge Systems
Automated electrostatic paint spraying processes.
Foam Fire Fighting Systems – AFFF and
Hi-Expansion
Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), rehealing foam, and Alcohol Type Concentrate (ATC) foams.
Portable Fire Extinguishers
These are, of course, the "bread and butter" of fire suppression equipment. However, rest assured, our in-house service facility provides full service of every type and size of fire extinguisher on the market. We have invested heavily into the latest maintenance, testing, and calibration technology to properly service your fire extinguishers, because from building wide alarm or suppression system to every fire extinguisher mounted to a wall, when you see the Fire Defense tag on each system, you can trust that your facilities are protected.
