Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Electrical requirements depend on the materials stored and applicable codes. Flammable materials typically require explosion-proof electrical systems (Class I, Div 1 or Div 2), while other chemicals may use standard-rated systems. Our engineers assess your needs and design appropriate electrical systems.
Climate control is often required or recommended for temperature-sensitive materials, facilities in extreme climates, or when protecting personnel or equipment. Temperature monitoring helps ensure compliance and prevent material degradation.
EPA compliance typically requires secondary spill containment with sufficient capacity (usually 110% of largest container or 10% of aggregate storage), leak detection capabilities, and proper drainage controls. Our containment systems are designed to meet EPA requirements.
Yes, many of our remote monitoring systems can be retrofitted to existing buildings. Sensors, detectors, and communication systems can be installed to provide remote monitoring capabilities without major building modifications.
The appropriate fire suppression system depends on the materials stored, building design, applicable codes, and local fire department requirements. We evaluate these factors and recommend the optimal system—whether sprinklers, foam, clean agent, or other options.
Explosion-proof-rated accessories typically cost more than standard-rated equipment due to their specialized design and certification. However, they’re required for flammable material storage and provide essential safety protection.
Maintenance requirements vary by system type. Most systems require regular inspection, testing, and periodic service. We provide maintenance schedules, inspection checklists, and documentation to help ensure proper operation and compliance.
Many of our systems support integration with building automation systems (BAS), facility management systems (FM), SCADA systems, and IoT platforms. Our engineers can design integrated solutions for comprehensive facility management.
