Industrial fire protection
Because of the nature of their activities and the materials they use (chemicals, machinery, combustible materials), industrial production sites are particularly exposed to the risk of fire.
The consequences of an accident such as a fire can be catastrophic:
- Significant material damage ;
- Endangerment of the lives of employees and local residents, depending on the circumstances ;
- Production interruptions
- Environmental pollution.
It is therefore essential to think about a real fire-fighting strategy for your industrial company with GS Environnement.
The challenges of fire protection for industrial sites
If you want to ensure that your industrial site runs smoothly and that production goes without a hitch, don't neglect its fire protection and the many issues involved.
Damage to installations
Damage to the physical integrity of personnel
Thinking about fire protection for your industrial site means ensuring the physical integrity of your staff by preventing accidents, serious injury or even death.
Pollution
Soil and water pollution can also be caused by a fire at an industrial site, particularly through the release of chemicals into the environment, impacting biodiversity.
Financial losses and production stoppages
A production stoppage can impact your turnover by causing heavy financial losses and damaging your company's brand image.
To meet these challenges, GS Environnement implements high-performance fire protection solutions tailored to the specific characteristics of your industrial site, such as condensed aerosols.

Example of application
An industrial petrochemical plant has installed several automatic fire detection and extinguishing systems and fire blankets to guard against the risk of fire and its consequences:
- Explosions ;
- Toxic emissions
- Material damage ;
- Endangering the lives of personnel.
A number of smoke, gas, heat and flame detectors are strategically located throughout the plant to provide early warning of the start of a fire. Various systems have been installed to extinguish fires:
- Water-based systems for fires involving combustible materials such as paper, wood and textiles
- Foam systems for fires involving flammable liquids: oils, solvents, hydrocarbons;
- Gas/condensed aerosol systems: fires in confined or water-sensitive areas such as electrical or data protection installations.
Fire blankets have also been made available to limit the risk of fire spreading, to smother flames and confine fires, particularly in machinery and industrial equipment.
