Commercial Buildings
Flame detection systems are needed to ensure the safety of the commercial building and the occupants.
Flame detection systems are needed to ensure the safety of the commercial building and the occupants.
Commercial buildings needs flame protection to protect the building itself and the people inside it. A particularly valuable building, such as a historical site, must be adequately protected. Likewise, a logistics center or warehouse contains many valuable products. Some of these products may be highly flammable. Shopping malls and other public commercial buildings often have many visitors – fire protection is essential to protect lives.
Shopping malls are large buildings with open spaces, glass wall panels, and high ceilings. They have multiple stores of varying shapes and sizes and are visited by a large number of people. To protect these people from harm, and keep the building free from damage, a flame detection solution is essential.
As with any other commercial location, shopping malls can be densely populated with people. Fire risks can result from a wide variety of sources, including accidental ignition or electrical equipment malfunction.
Life safety is a priority in a historical building or museum, due to the high volume of visitors and staff. Owners and managers of historical sites must ensure adequate fire protection is provided. Care must be taken to also protect the property itself and the valuable exhibits within.
As with any other popular public attraction, historical sites can be densely populated with people. Fire risks can result from a wide variety of sources, including accidental ignition or electrical equipment malfunction.
Modern high-bay storage facilities are designed to make goods available on a just-in-time basis. However, this has resulted in an increase in the vulnerability of production processes. Due to the concentration within single, large logistics sites, there is a greater risk of the entire delivery chain ceasing in the event of a fire.
Risks in storage facilities depend on the products and materials being stored. Flammable products create the highest risks, but any accumulation of goods creates some level of risk. Using an effective flame detection system ensures that products remain safe in the event of ignition. The flame detection and suppression systems used in a warehouse must be able to detect flames swiftly before they spread, to prevent downtime and damage to goods.
More than one third of all large-scale fires in the commercial industry occur in storage and logistics centers. These centers contain large quantities of goods in a small area, making it easy for fire to spread rapidly, and increasing the monetary losses when a fire does occur. If a fire spreads through a logistics center, this can threaten the survival of the entire business. Fire detection can prevent these fires from happening in the first place.

In the field of storage and logistics, there are numerous crucial criteria for the selection of the best type of fire protection. How the goods are stored plays a significant role. The type of goods and their material composition will also create specific requirements. For example, the storage of particularly flammable items, such as paper rolls, will require specific fire protection solutions. The solution implemented must be able to detect flames in the server room and other peripheral areas too.
