Fire Protection for Data Centers & Mission Critical Facilities – Because Downtime is Not an Option
In today’s digital economy, data centers and mission-critical facilities are the backbone of every major organization. Whether it’s cloud computing, financial transactions, healthcare data, e-commerce, or enterprise systems, even a few minutes of downtime can cost millions.
At FIREX.pk, we provide specialized fire protection systems designed to safeguard:
- Data centers
- Server rooms
- IT control rooms
- Telecom switching stations
- Cloud infrastructure hubs
- Industrial control system (ICS) environments
- Disaster recovery and backup sites
We understand the delicate balance these environments require: rapid fire detection and suppression, with minimal disruption to sensitive hardware.
Unique Fire Risks in Data Centers
Data centers operate under extreme conditions:
- High heat output from dense server racks (up to 400+ watts per square foot)
- Constant airflow from HVAC systems can spread smoke rapidly
- Complex cable runs and high-voltage power distribution
- Zero tolerance for water or dust-based suppression
- 24/7 operations with no downtime allowance for safety upgrades
These environments require a non-intrusive, high-speed fire response system engineered to stop fires in seconds without harming critical assets.
FIREX.pk Fire Protection Solutions for Data Centers
-
VESDA – Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus
Standard smoke detectors often react too slowly in high-airflow environments. That’s where VESDA (air sampling smoke detection) comes in.
Features:
- Constant air sampling through a pipe network
- Laser-based smoke particle detection
- Can detect fire in its incipient stage (before visible smoke appears)
- Immune to false alarms from dust or temperature shifts
- Ideal for high-ceiling server halls, cold aisles, and cable trenches
VESDA is your first line of defense, allowing systems and personnel to react before disaster escalates.
-
Clean Agent Suppression Systems (FM-200 / NOVEC 1230)
Water and electronics don’t mix. That’s why clean agents are essential in IT environments.
At FIREX.pk, we install:
- FM-200 and NOVEC 1230 systems – fast-acting gaseous agents that leave no residue
- Electrically non-conductive and safe for occupied rooms
- Controlled by multi-zone smoke detection systems
- Designed for discharge within 10 seconds
- Environmentally responsible, with low GWP (Global Warming Potential)
These agents suppress the fire without harming hardware or disrupting your business continuity.
-
Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems
As a precautionary backup, we install pre-action sprinkler systems for areas not covered by clean agents or where double-layered protection is required.
System benefits:
- Water is held back until both smoke and heat are detected, avoiding accidental leaks
- Ideal for under-floor cable trays or UPS/battery rooms
- Compliant with NFPA and Civil Defense regulations
- Can be configured for single- or double-interlock operation for maximum control
You get the safety of water-based suppression, without the risks of a false discharge.
-
Water Mist & Hybrid Suppression Systems
In larger, high-density IT facilities, we offer high-pressure water mist or hybrid suppression options.
Features:
- Atomized droplets suppress fire using rapid cooling and oxygen displacement
- Uses 70% to 90% less water than traditional sprinklers
- Ideal for backup generator rooms, high-ceiling colocation spaces, and control rooms
- Does not damage electronics or require extensive cleanup
Hybrid systems combine clean agent speed with water mist cooling, providing ultimate redundancy.
-
Fire Alarm & Life Safety Systems
To ensure compliance with safety codes and fast evacuation, we install:
- Intelligent, addressable fire alarm panels
- Smoke/heat/flame detectors in all racks, corridors, and UPS zones
- Manual call points and audible/visual indicators
- Alarm integration with BMS (Building Management Systems)
- Multi-stage alarms for fire, suppression activation, or gas discharge
These systems work in coordination with suppression systems for full automation.
-
Emergency Lighting & Mass Notification Systems
Our life safety designs also include:
- LED emergency lights and exit signage
- Battery backups for 90+ minutes of operation
- Voice evacuation systems that guide staff during emergencies
- Centralized alert dashboards and mobile/SMS notification triggers
- Options to integrate with your existing IT monitoring infrastructure
We make sure everyone knows where to go and what to do, without panic.
-
Central Station Monitoring
Our fire systems are connected to 24/7 monitoring services:
- Real-time alerts to your facility manager and local fire authorities
- Discharge events are logged and backed up securely
- Custom reports for audits, insurance, and compliance
You’ll never miss a fault, alarm, or service alert again.
