Scope of services

- Preparation of a fire-fighting concept for the hydraulic oil containers
- Comparison of usable extinguishing systems
- Cost estimate and cost comparison
- Planning and tender offer of a high-pressure water vapour fire-extinguishing system

Characteristics of the project

For Lenzing AG's 15 hydraulic oil containers, HOYER Brandschutz (formerly Sprinklerplan) compared different extinguishing systems; the most effective and economic fire-fighting solution finally turned out to be a water vapour extinguishing system.

In the four extinguishing areas of the hydraulic oil containers, the utilised high-pressure water vapour extinguishing system simultaneous ensures the cooling, inertisation (i.e. avoiding an inflammable atmosphere by displacing oxygen in the air) as well as a corresponding extinguishing effect.
