Fire Suppression System FAQ
If you want to prevent water damage after the activation of a sprinkler, several systems are offered to you.
Various adapted products exist according to risk. The systems listed above all have in common the reduction of risk and impact of a disaster, however each system has its specialty and extinction effectiveness.
But how to justify your choice?
There is certainly a question of cost when selecting a system, while also considering the lifespan of this investment (ACQUISITION-MAINTENANCE-OPERATION-PROTECTION).
However, you will also need to cash out the downtime of your activities (assembly line, sales, distribution) in case of disaster. This aspect could be crucial for the survival of a business.
Do you want a safe concept for your workers?
We have fire safety systems tailored to specific work environments, involving staff in high-risk areas.
Which system will suit me best?
Each extinguishing system has specific properties.
However, if you are considering a specific fire suppression system, it must be suitable and perform well in your environment. A site visit allows us to effectively assess your needs and suggest a fire suppression system that best suits your situation. Selecting the right system will better protect lives and your assets.
You wish to resume to your normal work activities quickly?
The fire has been detected early, the special hazard system has extinguished from the first moments, so we can safely reintegrate the area.
Thinking of replacing your halon system?
If you are a company that needs to replace a halon system, we have the alternative solution that will meet your needs.
Fixed fire suppression systems do not replace automatic sprinklers.
The fire protection system (automatic sprinklers) protects the building, and the equipment is protected by a fixed system.
Replacement of Halon Systems
Be aware that the law prohibits the refilling of cylinders containing halocarbons/halons and that a spill in the liquid state of more than 25 kg must be declared to the Ministère du Développement durable, Environnement et Parc Québec.

Detection Versus Fire Extinction
The detection of fire is just as important as its extinction. The faster the detection is, the faster the system will act, resulting in an almost instantaneous return to operations after an event.
As a certified integrator and installer of Honeywell’s XTRALIS VESDA early warning smoke detectors by aspiration, you get protection for your equipment with the best early warning detector.
Integrating with your existing fire protection system, the fixed extinguishing system becomes the ideal solution, reducing the risks and potential impacts of a disaster. Using the latest smoke detection technology, this system detects combustion materials well before the smoke is visible, minimizing the risk of spreading.
