DuraSteel for the Power Sectors
For both residential and commercial power sectors, it is essential to implement passive fire protection. Using fire and blast protection assemblies, key industries, including the medical, military defense, finance, and transportation sectors, and even all levels of government have enhanced protection in the event of a fire. Even a split-second total power outage is enough to create disastrous results for these industries and the millions of people who rely on the services they provide.
Just imagine a large bank, a hospital, a subway, or the defense department losing power. Businesses and government agencies recognize the potential risk even a small fire can bring. For that reason, they select the best passive fire protection system available. If you want to prevent the spread of a fire within your premises, DuraSteel is without question the most reliable and effective product on the market.
