Application
Energy and Utilities
Energy and utility infrastructure requires clearly defined fire separation to reduce escalation risk and support operational continuity. DuraSystems provides passive fire protection systems designed to separate equipment, control spaces, and critical assets within utility environments. Systems are configured to integrate into outdoor installations, supporting new construction and retrofit projects across a range of facility layouts.
Overview
Energy and utility facilities contain high-value electrical equipment that requires separations to limit fire spread and protect adjacent assets. Fire separation systems are commonly used to compartmentalize transformers, switchgear, control rooms, and support equipment within substations and power generation sites.
DuraSystems products are used to create passive fire separation between equipment zones while accommodating site constraints such as clearances, access requirements, and environmental exposure.
Typical system considerations
Outdoor installations
Equipment spacing and layout constraints
Retrofit and/or new construction
Integration with existing structures
About Application
Common configurations
DuraSystems fire separation systems are configured as standalone barriers or integrated assemblies positioned between transformers, adjacent equipment, and occupied spaces. Our modular systems can be adapted to site geometry and installation constraints without altering overall facility layout.
Products used for this application
DuraBarrier – original fire separation system
DuraBarrier SF – small footprint option for constrained layouts
