Firewater Containment

Damaging events of the past have shown that incidents cannot be excluded despite the high security standards. To limit the damages, the measures of fire water retention are of great importance.

By means of focused research THOMAS SYS TECH GmbH has developed doorway spill barriers which are able to close rapidly and to lock the building openings and wall throughputs. In case of fire or a damage they prevent uncontrolled leakage of water-endangering substances to the environment.

For this purpose, we could offer you the following barrier types:

The following connections must be provided by the customer for each automatic system:

Power connection 230 V / 16 A
Activation of a sprinkler or fire alarm system (via potential-free switching contact / coupler)

In the case of fully automatic systems (without manual reset), this must also be provided:

Compressed air connection R1/2″ female thread with shut-off valve / ball valve

What information do we need from you for your inquiry or production?

Clear width of the affected building openings

Automatic, manual or mobile version

What are Firewater Barriers?

Firewater Barriers are safety systems in buildings that reliably prevent the uncontrolled discharge of contaminated extinguishing water into the immediate vicinity after fires or accidents. Barriers seal off building openings such as doors and gates inwards and outwards quickly and in a targeted manner. This keeps the liquid inside the building up to a certain height. Automatic or manual extinguishing water barriers are used depending on the wishes of the building operator or the specifications from the fire protection concept.

What are the reasons for using Firewater Barriers?

To protect people and the environment, a regulation was introduced in the form of the Firewater Retention Directive (LöRüRl). This is intended to prevent the poisoning or pollution of bodies of water in the vicinity of buildings if, on the one hand, water-polluting substances are used in the facilities and operations or, on the other hand, environmentally hazardous substances can be produced in the event of a fire. The LöRüRl is now part of the building regulations of all federal states in Germany.
