Waste Management
Fire suppression solutions for waste management and recycling centres
The volume and variety of flammable materials, and the processes required to dispose of them, make waste management sites particularly susceptible to the risk of fire. Heavy machinery in constant use and the number of vehicles repeatedly entering and leaving the site require stringent health and safety protocols aligned with a fire safety system that’s sufficiently powerful enough to quell large fires and maintain the safety of employees.
Fires can break out suddenly on sites like these and quickly burn through the abundant fuel provided by waste goods. Fire detection systems need to cover every corner of the site, and suppression systems need to be adequately maintained to ensure sufficient deluge to extinguish the threat of a spreading fire.
Vipond Fire Protection has experience working with waste management customers, and our design and engineering teams understand the myriad factors that need to be taken into consideration when proposing an effective fire safety solution.
Our designs will take into account the specific waste being disposed of on-site, the number of people, and the hours of operation to ensure all fire vulnerabilities are mitigated and enough water is available to discharge over fires at sufficient pressure to contain a fire.
We provide fire detection and alarm systems, fire sprinklers, gas suppression systems, fire extinguishers, and dry and wet risers. We also offer planned preventative maintenance and routine inspections to maintain the efficacy of the installed system.

Comprehensive fire safety and security solutions for waste management businesses
Waste management businesses often require many third-party visitors to enter their sites and should consider the broader security vulnerabilities that may arise during hours of operation as well as those when the site is closed. Unauthorised access, theft, and criminal damage all pose potential threats to operational continuity.
As part of Chubb Fire and Security Ltd., Vipond is unique among fire safety providers in our ability to provide comprehensive, integrated solutions that protect waste management against security threats.
Our broader solutions include biometric and smartcard access control systems, CCTV surveillance cameras, intruder alarms, intercoms and vehicle barriers, remote 24/7 monitoring, and site security management software.
