How Automatic Sprinkler Systems Protect Commercial Buildings
Sprinklers operate individually, close to the fire, while it is still small. Here is how they work and what goes into designing a system.
Industrial & Operational Facilities
Machinery, electrical equipment, storage, processes and materials that shape fire risk.
Fire protection considerations
What makes industrial & operational facilities different
Industrial and operational facilities vary widely — from warehouses and workshops to processing plants and utilities. Fire risk is shaped by the materials stored, the processes carried out and the equipment in use, so protection must be based on site-specific assessment.
Key considerations
- High fire loads in storage areas
- Large open spaces and high ceilings
- Hazardous materials and processes
- Business continuity and asset protection
- Water supply for high-demand systems
Typical fire risks
- Flammable liquids and gases
- Dust and combustible materials
- Machinery, friction and hot surfaces
- Electrical distribution and motor control
- Hot works during maintenance
Risks and requirements vary by facility. A site-specific assessment confirms what applies to your building.

Why Fire Pump Maintenance Is Important
A fire pump may sit idle for years, then must start instantly and run at full duty. Regular testing is the only way to know it will.
