Infrastructure
The fire protection systems of tunnels, railways and airports must never fail. The social and/or economic interests are substantial, because incidents can have major consequences. This is a sector that calls for risk-based fire safety. The systems involved are crucial for ensuring the safety of traffic and transportation – e.g. the control systems of traffic control centres or tunnels. The safety of people is also an important element in this sector.
A fire in a tunnel can be caused by an accident that leaves a bus or train full of passengers stranded. In these situations, rapid detection systems and automatic extinguishing systems are very important so that the fire can be controlled or extinguished within minutes. We can help you avoid them by making sure the fire detection and fire extinguishing system is always operational and reliable. We’ll give you advice and install and maintain the system for you.
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!
