Comprehensive fire protection for power stations and combined heat and power plants.
We design and supply fire protection systems for power plants and combined heat and power plants – whether they are the largest or smaller plants, or decentralised power plants producing energy and/or heat from coal or biomass for their own production purposes (such as cement plants). Often our projects for the energy industry involve ensuring both fire and explosion safety.

Zdajemy sobie sprawę, że większość inwestycji związanych z modernizacją instalacji przeciwpożarowej wynika z wymogów, które stawiają zakładom przemysłowym ubezpieczyciele. Jeśli też jesteś w tej sytuacji, zapewne ubezpieczyciel wskazał, zgodnie z jaką normą lub standardem mają być wykonane zabezpieczenia przeciwpożarowe. Najważniejsze dla Ciebie jest to, że niezależnie jakie wymagania nakreślił Tobie ubezpieczyciel, spełnimy je wszystkie.
Which areas of the power plant do we protect?
A FIRE AT A POWER STATION MEANS LOSSES OF MILLIONS OF
We have already carried out work on a number of power stations and combined heat and power plants. We have seen the damages from a possible fire, or explosion, in such facilities. The vast majority of the demand for energy and system heat in Poland is met by burning coal and cogeneration with biomass. These types of facilities are designed for continuous operation, so a possible fire could result in millions of zlotys in losses, but also huge problems in ensuring the continuous supply of energy and heat to consumers.
WHAT DOES OUR WORK FOR THE ENERGY INDUSTRY LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE?
For power plants and combined heat and power plants burning coal (or coal with biomass), we have to take into account many factors that make up an extremely harsh working environment. First of all, there is the high temperature and high level of dust. As a result, any fire safety project must eliminate not only the risk of fire, but also the risk of a false fire alarm. This switching on of the fire fighting system as a result of a false alarm can also lead to millions of zlotys in damage.
WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING
Installing detection systems capable of detecting smouldering fires
Selecting detection and signalling systems to withstand harsh working conditions
Preventing false alarms, i.e. put out only when there is a fire
Minimising losses resulting from triggering an extinguisher due to a false alarm
Protecting all key facilities at thermal power plants / power stations
Carrying out the work without affecting the continuity of operations of the power plant
We move and work only in the areas which were made available to us
We strictly adhere to all safety procedures
Remember that coal dust, like biomass dust, is explosive!.
Therefore, in addition to ensuring fire safety, explosion safety must also be ensured in many areas of the power plant / CHP plant in accordance with the provisions of the ATEX Directive.
Scope of fire protection systems we implement
PROTECTION OF THE ANGLED BRIDGE
We divide the bridge into multiple sprinkler sections so that the entire length of the conveyor is not flooded in the event of a fire
We make the installation, the piping, the sprinklers and feed the water to them and provide control panels
If required, we supply pipeline heating systems to prevent water from freezing
When designing a fire alarm system, we take into account the extremely difficult operating conditions for the sensors in order to counteract false alarms
We ensure that a fire can be detected quickly even at the smouldering stage
We supply optical and acoustic signalling devices
INTERNAL HYDRANT SYSTEM
We design and install internal hydrant systems and upgrade the existing hydrant systems
We connect hydrant risers to increase the pressure in the system and provide the required capacity
We carry out our the tasks without disturbing the facility
FIRE WATER PUMPING STATIONS AND RESERVOIRS
We design and install fire water pumping stations and fire water tanks – even with a capacity of approx. 1,000 m3; we modernise existing pumping stations
We carry out the task comprehensively: from the design, delivery and assembly to the E/I&C and electrical installation work, down to the finishing work and creating documentation.
We carry out our the tasks without disturbing the facility
OIL TANK PROTECTION
We design and install sprinkler systems for oil tank protection
Depending on your needs and budget, we provide either water sprinkling (main purpose: to cool the area until the fire brigade starts fire fighting) or foam extinguishing (main purpose: to extinguish the fire)
PROTECTION OF TRANSFORMERS
We design and install sprinkler systems for oil transformers
We recommend a prefabricated self-supporting cage mounted with quick-connectors, which avoids the construction of an expensive substructure. At the same time, this cage design allows the owner, if necessary, to remove part of the ring to gain access to the transformer.
We supply control panels, trigger valves and under-station gate valves.
UPGRADING OF STAIRCASES (AND OTHER FACILITIES IN THE POWER PLANT AREA) TO FIRE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
We supply smoke dampers with an electric smoke control system, which we connect to the extinguishing control panels
We carry out the necessary upgrades of basic, emergency and evacuation lighting
We carry out a calculation of the existing lighting with a visualisation of the deficiencies to be corrected
We also supply lighting panels, lighting connectors, junction boxes and electric shock protection systems
Fire systems – the offer
Sprinkler systems.
They are self-contained fire extinguishing systems that detect the moment a fire starts, then send information to the control system and automatically start the process of selective water extinguishing – only where there is a fire.
Deluge sprinkler systems.
They are equipped with open fire nozzles and can be divided into several extinguishing zones. When a fire is detected, the sprinkler valves for the area open. Water is released throughout the protected area.
Foam installations.
In particular, we use them for facilities with a high fire risk, such as: tanks for fuels, solvents and other flammable liquids; warehouses for plastics; warehouses for flammable products and/or locations where explosive atmosphere occurs.
Fire Detection and Signalling.
Designing and implementing comprehensive fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on your needs, we use one of the four available systems or a combination of two or three of them, to optimise your investment from a technical and cost perspective.
Spark Detection and Extinguishing.
These systems are designed for installation in the ducts of industrial installations. Their purpose is to prevent a potential ignition source in the form of a spark, cigarette butt or heated particle from entering the appliance.
Secure your installation.
