Industrial Fire Safety

Specialised fire protection for manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics parks and process industries — designed around hazard classification and insurance requirements.

Overview & Regulations

Industrial fire risks are significantly higher than commercial occupancies — flammable liquids, high-piled storage, heavy machinery, and 24/7 operations. Athens Buildcon conducts hazard assessments and designs systems to NFPA 13 extra-hazard, NFPA 11 foam, and TAC insurance requirements. We have experience across auto, pharma, FMCG, textile, steel and chemical sectors.
  • NBC 2016 Part 4 — Industrial occupancy fire requirements
  • Factories Act and Rules — Maharashtra
  • TAC (Tariff Advisory Committee) insurance requirements
  • NFPA 13 extra hazard occupancy design
  • PESO regulations for flammable/explosive storage
  • ISO 14001 environmental requirements for foam systems
  • Fire hydrant ring main with yard hydrants and monitors
  • Extra-hazard sprinkler systems (high discharge density)
  • Foam suppression for flammable liquid areas
  • Gas suppression for control rooms and electrical rooms
  • Fire detection with beam detectors for high-bay areas
  • Deluge systems for specific process equipment
  • Fire extinguishers — DCP, CO2, and foam types
Design Requirements

Key Requirements for This Sector

  • Hazard Classification
    Industrial facilities are classified as Ordinary Hazard Group 3 or Extra Hazard under NFPA 13. Hydraulic design is based on the highest hazard area in the building.
  • Insurance Compliance
    TAC-compliant systems can reduce fire insurance premiums significantly. Athens Buildcon provides TAC-format drawings and documentation for your insurer.
  • Operational Continuity
    We specialise in installing and retrofitting systems in live plants — using after-hours shutdowns, hot-work permits, and phased execution to minimise production disruption.
  • PESO Approvals
    Facilities handling petroleum, LPG or explosives require PESO approval for fire systems. Our team manages all technical submissions and approvals.
