Introduction
Depending on the type of fire risk and working environment involved, Tyco Fire & Integrated solutions can provide a wide range of low, medium and high expansion foam systems designed to the latest British Standard and NFPA approvals.
We have dedicated foam system design engineers and project management teams working exclusively in “preferred supplier partnerships” within the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, retail warehousing, and aviation industries.
Our commitment to the development of “best practice” foam system design ensures the most rapid, fire “knockdown” using the minimum amount of water. This in turn ensures that the amount of hazardous fire effluent is significantly reduced and that the subsequent cost of legislative firewater run off containment is also significantly reduced.
These factors make foam fire protection systems ideal for combating fires within Airports, Aircraft Hangars, Chemical Plants, Petrochemical and Pharmaceutical Plants, Tanker loading bays/racks and Warehousing and Distribution Centres.
The different type of Foam Systems available are:
Foam Enhanced
Foam Enhanced Sprinkler and Deluge Systems generally tend to utilise AFFF or 3 x 3 alcohol resistant low expansion foam... more
Low Expansion
These systems are ideal for the protection of indoor process areas and truck loading racks within petrochemical and pharmaceutical plants...more
Medium Expansion
These systems are ideal for the protection of civil and military aircraft hangers that utilise “under wing” short throw fixed nozzles and...more
High Expansion
High Expansion Foam Systems are generally used to protect indoor or compartmented hazardous areas involving flammable liquid fires...more
