firewater collection collection for storage warehouse with adhesives and silicone (Bison)
The customer
Bison International, part of Bolton Adhesives, manufacturer of adhesives, sealants, seals and tapes based in Goes, the Netherlands.
Purpose
Install the necessary liquid barriers to collect firewater according to the applicable safety measures (PGS15).
Problem-solution
- When a fire breaks out in the storage warehouse, the sprinklers activate. The extinguishing water contaminated with packaging material, glue, silicone, ... should not be allowed to seep into the ground. After all, this could cause major damage to the environment.
- In Bison's storage warehouse, CGK installed 30 liquid barriers that communicate with the fire alarm centre. As soon as there is a fire in a particular compartment of the warehouse, the barriers close at the entrance and exit. This prevents water from escaping.
- In total, we installed 6 liquid barriers specifically for loading docks and 24 'regular' barriers.
- Based on the size of the space, we determined the height of the liquid barrier. The smaller the space, the higher the barrier.
- We work exclusively with the best quality liquid barriers from German supplier Thomas.
