Distribution centers and production halls have large fire compartments, high racking, and a substantial fire load. The separations between storage, dispatch, technical areas, and offices determine whether a fire remains manageable and whether operations can resume quickly after an incident.
We realize and repair fire-resistant walls and flame barriers up to great heights, protect the steel structure, and seal the penetrations for sprinkler, electrical, and process pipes under certification — scheduled around your production and dispatch hours.
Risks relevant to this sector
Large compartments, rapid fire spread
If a separating wall or flame barrier does not extend fully to the roof, smoke and fire can spread unimpeded throughout the entire hall.
Tall steel structures
Free-spanning steel trusses above a fully loaded warehouse must remain standing long enough for a safe response and to limit domino damage.
Business continuity
Beyond the legal requirements, insurance and continuity interests also play a role here: a demonstrably fire-safe building with an accurate logbook lowers your risk profile.
Services that make the biggest difference here
Fire-Resistant Separstructures
Walls, ceilings, and flame barriers that divide your building into safe, manageable fire compartments.

Certified sealing of cable, pipe, and duct penetrations so that fire and smoke compartments remain intact.
More about this serviceMaintenance & Inspection
Periodic inspection and maintenance keep your fire protection provisions demonstrably in order.
More about this serviceWhat that looks like in practice
In a 40,000 m2 distribution center, we restored the fire separation between the warehouse and dispatch area over its full height, including 180 penetrations, while operations in the other hall continued uninterrupted.

Questions about fire safety in logistics & industry
Yes, with cherry pickers or scaffold towers in consultation with the logistics team - sections temporarily cleared or work carried out at night, depending on the operation.
Often yes. Insurers look at the compartmentalization, structural protection and whether maintenance is demonstrable; a logbook helps with premium determination and damage claims.
Above the standard limit from the Bbl, a larger compartment size is permitted, provided it is substantiated with an equivalent solution according to NEN 6060 or NEN 6079.
