Why you should attend this Seminar:
20% of all fires occur in businesses. Thousands of fires take place every year threatening mission critical equipment and facilities. If you assume that these events are rare, consider this; it's estimated that 80% of all business related fires are never reported. Just imagine if your data center went down, you lose a critical piece of equipment or your office building had to be evacuated. What would it cost your organization? Protecting these assets from the threat of fire is vital. This seminar is designed to show how to attack common fire protection problems and fortify your facility's defenses against the threat of loss due to fire.
What you will learn from the Experts:
This seminar will arm you with the latest fire alarm, detection and suppression strategies to ensure better protection of mission critical assets.
- Attack the growing problem of MIC (Microbiologically Induced Corrosion) in sprinkler pipes causing pinhole leaks and even worse, complete pipe failure.
- Learn what you can do to avoid the significant costs and headaches of repairing and/or replacing sprinklers. Learn why high pressure water mist systems are becoming a "must consider" option for any mission critical application.
- Discover why using Novec 1230 may give your company a competitive edge by becoming your next "Green Initiative".
Bonus Session:
Hot/Cold Aisle Fire Protections...
Significant NFPA Code Changes You Need To Know!
Data centers, telecommunications facilities, and head-end/hub buildings are integrating Hot/Cold Aisle Containment Systems to reduce the high costs of air conditioning. These drastic changes have had a negative impact on fire protection systems, leading to major changes in the NFPA code. All facilities that have modified their existing facilities with aisle containment and those designing new buildings will be impacted immediately. This is "must know" information for all IT and facility managers.
Who should attend:
- Managers, facility directors and maintenance personnel
- Architects, engineers, designers, contractors, estimators, risk managers, AHJs, building inspectors, plan examiners, and fire marshals
- Anyone who is responsible for critical fire protection decisions
