Open storage areas hold large quantities of materials and goods in the open air, from yards to stockpiles, where a fire can take hold and spread across a wide area. Protecting open storage safeguards the stored materials, nearby buildings and the operation. MEP Fire provides fire suppression, detection and specialist advice for open storage.
Open storage brings together large quantities of materials in exposed areas, where a fire can spread across an open expanse and, if the materials are combustible, become difficult to control. The scale of what is stored and the potential for fire to spread to neighbouring areas or buildings mean that early awareness and effective protection are valuable, despite the challenges of an outdoor environment.
MEP Fire helps protect open storage areas with detection and suppression suited to the materials and the outdoor setting, following an assessment of the specific risk. We provide specialist advice on the most appropriate approach and support the protection over time, helping keep stored materials, nearby buildings and the operation safe.
