Preventive fire protection with Bilfinger Industrial Services - minimizing loss expense and downtimes
(PresseBox) - In Germany, the standard building regulations set out the rules which companies must follow to protect their industrial assets and employees from fire and flue gas. Bilfinger Industrial Services is now showing how loss expense and interruptions to production can be reduced by means of preventive fire protection. In a new brochure entitled "Vorbeugender baulicher Brandschutz" (Preventive fire protection in buildings), it explains the parts of industrial plants which are particularly at risk and how they can be fireproofed.
Preventive or passive fire protection can help to improve the safety of staff, industrial assets and production processes. Numerous construction elements and plant parts must be protected. For instance, steel and concrete structures lose their rigidity at high temperatures and may collapse. Accordingly, they must be shielded from the effects of heat either by means of special fire protection cladding or insulation. Piping frequently runs along rescue or escape routes and must therefore be fitted with appropriate fire protection. Electrical installations and smoke-exhaust/ventilation systems, barriers, room sealing and support frames require specially tailored fireproofing. By pre-emptively fireproofing their plants, companies ensure that loss and reconstruction expense is kept as low as possible and interruptions to production are minimised.
