Competence
Never get burned
Wherever combustible substances are stored, the fire hazard is especially high and when a fire brakes out, the damage is oftentimes devastating. To ensure maximum safety, individual and professional fire protection concepts are required.
With TÜV NORD, you'll never get burned: We have the knowledge and the experts to effectively establish preventative and individual measures that extend beyond fire extinguishers and fireproof doors.
Brilliant ideas for optimum protection
Experience shows that when fires occur, they often start unnoticed and cause serious damage before they are discovered. Furthermore, special devices are frequently required to extinguish fires, which makes fire fighting an especially complex and costly task. To protect power plants against fire, we develop fire protection analyses for silos, landfills, coal stockyards, and stockpiles. For us, not only does the compliance of legal requirements play a role, but so does the development of new ideas for our customers. We know all about the ideal combination of various fire protection elements for ensuring the optimum safety of your buildings and plants. Take advantage of the possibilities of the engineering-specific, risk-oriented fire protection plan and its practical implementation with TÜV NORD.
Bundled expertise
In addition, we also offer expert support in preparing alarm plans in case of fire (e.g. fighting fires at stockpiles and landfills) as well as with the aftercare. With the bundled expertise of the experts from DMT and TÜV NORD systems, we offer a wide range of services and have numerous references in fire protection, in particular for conventional power plants.
