A warehouse constitutes a substantial risk in the case of fire: very intense thermal radiation, smoke or toxic gas emissions. Fire protection is a priority for GSE.
Various solutions are proposed:
- sophisticated air-analysis detectors installed,
- installation of automatic water spray extinguishers (sprinklers) or foam production extinguishers.
- separation of buildings into fire-walled compartments.
- building placed at a distance from the plot boundary to avoid fire spreading into neighbouring properties,.
- creation of fire water basins.
- the use of wood, a renewable natural resource, is preferred in the construction of building frames as it has a higher level of fire resistance than steel.
