Manufacturing & Processing

The manufacturing and processing industry sectors are other examples of where fire protection is vital and at the same time can satisfy the health and safety obligations on such sites.

The production, processing and storage of all manufactured products expose those businesses to major losses in the event of a fire. Food processing, cars and auto components, chemicals, pharmaceutical, petrochemical plants, waste management facilities, paper Mills, steel Mills, paint plants, “white goods” manufacturers, electrical components, are the cornerstones of the British economy. Any major disruption to any one of those business could have a massive economic impact regionally and nationally; never mind the impact to the businesses themselves and the people that they employ.

These industries also often utilise a combination of all of the fixed fire protection systems due to the nature of the products they manufacture. The facility or plant may have dedicated power generation sources to power their operation. The production process itself could generate sufficient risks to warrant specific protection along the production line. The need to protect warehousing and distribution facilities and offices all will have solutions which will be needed to meet legislative and insurance criteria.

Argus’ experiences and expertise in such projects are many and varied. Alpro (Soya Milk), Johnson Controls (Automotive Components), C.I.B.A (Speciality Chemicals), Calor Gas, Dyson, Landrover, SCA Packaging, Triumph Motor Cycles are just a few of the many varied businesses that they have assisted in providing solutions to their fire protection requirements. These and many other manufacturing businesses have experienced the benefits of working with Argus, making Argus the preferred fire engineering contractor to UK manufacturing and process industries.
