Fire protection for logistics and industry
Compartmentalization and structural protection in distribution centers and production halls.
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 with tested systems — 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 Separating Structures
Fire-resistant walls, partition systems and ceilings that divide your building into manageable fire compartments.
More about fire-resistant separating structuresFire-Resistant Steel Cladding
Fire-resistant cladding or coating for steel beams and columns, so load-bearing capacity is retained for up to 120 minutes in a fire.

Sealing penetrations against fire with collars, wrap strips, sealant, mortar or other systems with a substantiated application, so that the WBDBO of your fire separation stays intact.

Periodic maintenance and inspection of your fire protection, with everything verifiably recorded in a digital logbook.

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 compartmentation, the structural protection and whether maintenance can be demonstrated; with a logbook you can show the condition of the fire protection, for example during a risk inspection or after a loss.
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.
