Fire Detection & Suppression

Dual stage Argonite fire supression system

Our system incorporates detection and suppression equipment including below raised floors and in ceiling voids. Using an Argon/Nitrogen mix which is deployed in seconds and eliminates the ability for combustion to take place. All without the need to shut down power. All normally functioning equipment therefore remains completely unaffected.

Argon and Nitrogen are naturally occurring gases, which are present in the air we breathe. The principle of suppression is by increasing the Nitrogen and Argon content of the protected space, which reduces the oxygen volume to prevent combustion - but at a safe level to sustain human life. Typical oxygen levels following a discharge are 12% - 15%.

All fire systems are linked to our sophisticated central BMS which reacts to the initial 'first-stage' detection by starting our water chillers, sealing off the room by closing dampers while disabling our fresh-air cooling. If the fire is confirmed by a second detection then the gas is deployed and the room remains sealed.

Think about it this way, if the worst does happen and some equipment near to yours catches fire; our system will detect it, deploy the gas agent and put it out without you or your customers even knowing that there was an incident.
