Case Study: 2 Sisters
We have just commissioned an install for one of our Trade Customers, at a 2 Sisters food group site. The site recognised that their main incoming switchroom was not protected by any kind of Fire Protection, and in the worst case of a fire in there, the factory main power supply could be down for a significant amount of time with no backup available.
The site processes up to a million chickens per week, so not only would the lack of output affect their business, it may cause a significant lack of available food in the marketplace – particularly concerning in times of a pandemic…
A Fike Pro-Inert IG55 system was chosen to protect the Switchroom, and together with Smoke Detectors at high level in the Switchroom, 2 Sisters can now be confident that if any fire were to break-out in there, then the system would deploy and discharge the IG55 gas, filling the room and suppressing any fire in there.
The system was installed on budget and on schedule to make sure that the plant continued to run un-interrupted and is insured against the breakout of a fire.
