Frequently Asked Questions
What fire protection is needed for container terminals?
Container terminals require protection for container stacks, handling equipment, and fuel facilities. Mobile equipment like reach stackers need vehicle-mounted systems, while container yards benefit from monitor systems and portable response capability.
How do you protect port facilities?
Port fire protection includes shore-side systems for warehouses and fuel storage, along with mobile response capability for vessel incidents. We design systems that integrate with port emergency response plans and meet maritime safety requirements.
What systems protect cargo handling equipment?
Cargo handling equipment including cranes, reach stackers, and forklifts benefit from automatic vehicle fire suppression systems. These systems protect engine compartments, hydraulic systems, and operator cabs with rapid detection and suppression.
Are there special requirements for waterfront fire protection?
Waterfront facilities must consider environmental protection in their fire systems. We design systems with appropriate containment for foam and other agents, and can integrate with environmental monitoring and response systems.
