Safespill White Paper: Options for Hangar Drainage

ILDFA systems simplify fire protection: no foam, no chemicals, and full control over spill response. But choosing how to contain and treat discharge is a strategic decision, especially for infrastructure teams that balance cost, code, and long-term operations. We’re working with hangar owners and engineers across multiple project types, military and commercial, new build, and retrofit, to plan containment systems that make the most of their layout, budget, and risk profile. Sometimes that means a full-capacity underground separator. Sometimes, it’s a modular tank paired with a post-spill treatment skid. What matters is that the system aligns with the mission and meets the UFC, NFPA, and FM standards. Our white paper outlines seven field-proven options. If you’re planning an ILDFA install, it’s worth a read.

“We are constantly pushing the boundaries to ensure EPS solutions meet the highest fire safety standards across Europe.” – Emanuela As building regulations evolve, the EPS industry continues to adapt. Fire safety is a critical aspect of compliance, especially for insulation used in façades, roofs, and floors. Emanuela highlights a shared commitment across the value chain: aligning EPS solutions with national and European safety requirements through testing, certification, and innovation.

🚒 #Fire #Hydrant #Systems – From Paper to Practice Fire hydrants save lives—but only if they’re installed the right way. Standards like #NWC guidelines make sure every #hydrant, #trench, and #valve #chamber is built strong enough to handle emergencies. 📊 Example: If one #hydrant needs 1,000 #liters per #minute at about #16 #bar #pressure, the #pump behind it should be around 50 #HP. That’s the kind of number that shows why proper design really matters. #FireSafety #MEP #Construction #Engineering #ProjectManagement

Wurtec is partnering with PitSafe to bring you the latest innovations for elevator mechanic safety. PitSafe is an all-in-one unit that combines activation of the pit lighting and elevator pit stop switch simultaneously. This virtually eliminates the danger that someone will enter the pit without first taking the elevator out of service. FloodGuard monitors the presence of oil within the elevator pit. It provides an audible alarm and light indication for immediate notification of building personnel. Check out the brochures below for more info: PitSafe: https://lnkd.in/gNKgHv-5 FloodGuard: https://lnkd.in/gqsHhm6y

🚨 New Article Alert 🚨 When every second counts, fire safety isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Six waterproofing checks that protect your project from costly defects. At a recent technical training session, the message was clear: the details matter. Even with the updated AS 3740:2021 Standard and NCC 2022 Code in place, waterproofing failures remain one of the top causes of defects in brand new buildings. Why is the industry still adjusting? Many projects approved under earlier rules are only now reaching completion. On site, practices may not always reflect the latest standards, and documentation does not consistently capture the detail required. The result is that defects are still appearing in buildings handed over today. The session reinforced the issues still catching projects out: 1. #Flood testing – membranes need adequate curing time before testing. Rushing this step is still leading to failures. 2. #Showers near doorways – must be enclosed and properly stepped down to prevent water escaping. 3. #Water stops – too often missed or incorrectly placed, allowing subsurface water to migrate outside the wet area. 4. #Falls to wastes – floors must slope to drains, yet rushed screeds and unclear documentation are leading to ponding and leaks. 5. #System compatibility – primers, membranes and adhesives must be used as tested systems. Mixing products continues to create risks. 6. #Documentation – moisture testing and clear records provide the evidence of compliance if disputes arise. The takeaway is clear. These are not future reforms, they are today’s standards. But the industry is still adjusting, and non-compliance is showing up in live projects. At FutureCert, our role is to keep these details front-of-mind for our clients so their projects hand over with confidence, not costly remedial work. #FutureCert #BuildingCertification #Waterproofing #ConstructionRisk #AS3740 #NCC

The long-awaited European watermist standard EN 14972-1 was published on 23 December 2020. Fire consultants, designers and installers of watermist systems now have a standard they can use and base their work on not unlike the standard for sprinkler systems. The key difference is that watermist is performance-based, not stipulating a minimum water density required as sprinkler systems do. ‘With a European standard covering land-based applications in place, we expect a growing interest for the technology for building protection. In fact, I expect more buildings to be specified with watermist in the very near future,’ says Bettina McDowell, general manager of the International Water Mist Association (IWMA).

NFPA 13 – The Standard for Sprinkler Systems When it comes to fire protection, one standard stands out as a true lifesaver: NFPA 13. What it covers: Design & installation of sprinkler systems Minimum water supply & hydraulic requirements Protection of occupancies (residential, commercial, industrial) Guidance for maintenance and inspection Why it matters: Sprinklers are proven to reduce fire deaths by up to 87% and property damage by 68% when properly designed and maintained. That’s why NFPA 13 is not just a technical document—it’s a global benchmark for life safety. #NFPA13 #FireSafety #LifeSafety #Construction #OilAndGas #MEP #FireProtection
