Fire hazards are particularly prevalent wherever inflammable materials are stored. And if a fire does occur this often burns unnoticed. In such cases firefighting has to be done with special equipment, which is cost intensive and time consuming. Based on this background we prepare expert reports on fire protection for silos, waste sites, coal stockpiles and dumps. In addition we provide support in setting up alarm plans, in the event of a fire as well as afterwards.

Concealed fires, e.g. landfill fires, can be detected using thermography. This infrared measuring method detects from the air or directly on the ground where temperature anomalies exist and places from which gas or seepage water is escaping. DMT’s thermal inspection method is used above all for investigating refuse dumps, waste sites, silos and bunkers. Supplementary measuring equipment helps us assess the state of the fire and how it is developing. And after the fire has been extinguished we remain on site to make sure that no further fire pockets exist and that the danger has truly been averted.

In silo firefighting the inertisation method has shown good results. By injecting inert gas a fire is starved of oxygen and quenched. DMT plans the setting up of such inertisation systems, checks that they function properly after installation and that the health of staff is not adversely affected.

Besides the above services we can also train your company’s fire protection officers. Courses with practical exercises help beginners as well as experienced staff to learn what is necessary to fight fires efficiently. Participants then learn more in-depth information in our lectures and demonstrations on fire and explosion protection for dumps and waste sites.
