Key Features:

  • Bespoke fire strategy plans tailored to data centres and server farms.
  • Fire detection and suppression system design (gas-based and water mist systems).
  • Emergency power shutdown procedures to prevent fire escalation.
  • Compartmentation strategies to isolate fire incidents and protect critical assets.

Why This Service is Essential:

  • Prevents fire damage to expensive IT infrastructure.
  • Reduces business disruption and downtime.
  • Ensures regulatory compliance with fire safety laws and insurance requirements.

Fire Safety for IT Infrastructure

IT facilities house complex networking and power systems that are vulnerable to overheating and electrical fires. Our fire safety strategies address these challenges with preventative fire safety planning and emergency response protocols.

Key Features:

  • Specialised risk assessments for IT server rooms and cloud storage facilities.
  • Fire-resistant cabling solutions to reduce ignition risks.
    Pre-action and gaseous fire suppression systems to protect critical data.
