Smoke Detection

Spot type smoke detectors are devices that respond to the smoke particles produced by a fire. They operate on the ionization, photoelectric, and other smoke particle analysis principle of operation. Properly installed, smoke detectors can detect smoke particles in very early stages of fire in the areas where they are located. The selection of a particular detector or mixture of detectors should be made by a fire protection specialist and based on building and fire-load conditions.

Air Sampling

Air Sampling Detector consists of a piping or tubing distribution network that runs from the detector to the area(s) to be protected. An aspiration fan in the detector housing draws air from the protected area back to the detector through air sampling ports, piping, or tubing. Air Sampling Smoke Detectors are capable of detecting a fire at its earliest stage. Air Sampling Smoke Detectors actively pulls room air through a piping network to its detection chamber where it can detect the presence of particles that are created in the very early stages of combustion, even before smoke is visible.

Suppression Clean Agent

Clean agent fire suppression agents are designed for use in mission-critical applications where traditional sprinkler systems will cause extended damage and business interruption. Clean agents are environmentally safe, Non-conductive and non-corrosive to sensitive electronic equipment, and non-life-threatening to personnel.

Suppression Water Mist

Water mist fire suppression systems capitalizes the extinguishing properties of water and amplifies them for extreme fire suppression capabilities. Water droplets are atomized to increase surface area to absorb heat quicker, thus using significantly less water.

Sprinkler

Sprinkler systems are fundamental to building fire protection. Whether your building is commercial or industrial, there are extensive state and local regulations that govern when, where, and how these systems need to be installed and maintained. As the Mission Critical Fire Protection Experts, ORR Protection provides custom solutions that adapt to your specific needs—providing professional installation, inspection, testing, maintenance and repair.

About

The mission of a broadband cable communications company - whether it is a traditional regional operating company, a long-distance provider, a wireless service, or a broadband company offering bundled TV, internet and phone—is to provide customers with round-the-clock, uninterrupted service. A fire in any critical telecom facility—whether a central office, a satellite transmission station, or a cable head-end—can knock out vital communication links for thousands of customers at once.

Considerations

Like data centers, broadband facilities rely on sensitive computing equipment, they are often tightly packed, cooling is a concern, cables and network equipment are always live with electricity, and a fire would be catastrophic. Risk is accentuated when buildings are unmanned. Many are located in remote areas. In some cases, the buildings sole purpose is to house telco network equipment and fire suppression equipment is not required by the AHJ.
