Buildings that house art and culture are many and varied. They include archives, libraries, galleries and museums, as well as theaters, opera houses and concert halls. They all have one thing in common: they are special buildings that require special fire protection considerations.
Typically, these special buildings are historic, often landmarked, buildings of great cultural and historic value. Archives, libraries and museums are extremely important for documenting our history. The immeasurable value of unique exhibits, historical artifacts and digital archive data, as well as architecture, makes their storage locations particularly worthy of protection and requires efficient and sustainable fire protection. At WAGNER, we offer you fire protection solutions that are specifically tailored to your requirements, protecting valuable cultural assets and preserving irreplaceable values.
RISK ANALYSIS
Defects in electrical systems are one of the leading causes of fire in cultural and artistic sites. Even a small spark in the electrical system can ignite a large, destructive fire that, in the worst case, can permanently destroy historical values. Other risks include highly flammable materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, or textiles; dense, compact storage in air-dry rooms; or highly flammable, combustible conservation fluids.
PROTECTION GOALS
SOLUTION
Early detection of fire in these special buildings is essential in order to be able to take appropriate countermeasures in time. In addition to our TITANUS® early fire detection system, depending on the protected area and individual requirements, either our OxyReduct® active fire prevention system for enclosed spaces or our FirExting® gas extinguishing system for non-residual and non-destructive fire suppression is used.
We will be happy to advise you.
