Problem-solution
Problem
Because SNL has many products with environmentally hazardous liquids, permanent containment was necessary.
Solution
- CGK Group chose liquid barriers so as not to interfere with internal traffic. On the long stretch between the racks came a permanent steel L-barrier 200 mm high. And 100% liquid-proof.
- Between the rows came 2 automatic barriers with leak detection probes, directly connected to the fire alarm center. The leak detection probes ensure that the barriers close automatically, capturing extinguishing water and leaks.
- To buffer the fire extinguishing water, CGK Group opted to use part of the sewer network. So at the end of the sewer drain came a sewer sealer. This works both automatically and manually, completely in sync with the closing barriers.
