Energy, Data & Telecom
The infrastructure for gas, electricity, water, telephony and data is of great social and economic importance – and the consequences of unavailability are severe. This is a sector which calls for risk-based fire safety. The number of staff present at the relevant facilities is often very low, so the emphasis here is not so much on the safety of people but much more on assuring continuity. In these situations, we commonly work with rapid detection systems that automatically trigger extinguishing gas delivery in order to remove the oxygen from the space within 60 seconds, so extinguishing the fire without causing collateral damage to the equipment. There are different extinguishing gases, each of which achieves the objective in a different way. We will be pleased to advise you on the best option for your situation.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR SECTOR
OUR APPROACH
Fire safety always consists of the right balance between Intervention, Installation and Instruction, with you at the center. We explain step by step what our Installation-process contains.
RISK ASSESSMENT & ACTION PLAN
The first step is to make a risk assessment based on architectural, systems and organisational aspects. Every building has its own risks, which we specify. The report identifies possible solutions in general terms plus an estimate of the cost if required. The solutions are worked out in the action plan, which also describes the implementation in the process or organisation.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN, CALCULATION & ENGINEERING
After approval of the action plan, the design work can begin. The final cost estimate (quotation) is also made at this stage. Once the quotation has been agreed, we can start on the detailed design. The project assignment is signed by both the client and the contractor. In many cases, the drawings and design calculations also need to be approved by inspection bodies.
INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & CERTIFICATION
Clear agreements are made regarding planning, lead times, implementation and delivery. At the end of the project, we will submit a maintenance agreement for one or more years. Fire safety systems are usually delivered with a certificate. Sometimes that is just a product certificate, but often there is also an inspection certificate from an accredited inspection body. The inspection involves checking that the system matches the approved design and is functional.
FIRE SAFETY FOR 10 YEARS
Integrated fire safety requires structural, systems and organisational fire protection measures. Everyone will confirm this, but in practice it is different. We offer the all-in-one fire safety solution, Saval Garant!
