The Fire Extinguishing product line meets the most demanding needs in terms of bunds for fire risks.
Our materials have been tested under various conditions of leaks and flow volumes for applications on bunds (BAF and IC product line) and on pits (EX and MX).
These tests were carried out by the French laboratory for fire of the National Centre for Prevention and Protection (CNPP) in the presence of experts from TUV Rheinland. -
Bunds for 160 to 1600 kVA transformers used mainly in maintenance shops or for the outdoors. Bund made out of hot galvanised steel with a grating on top of it, capable of holding the heaviest transformers. Serial emptying valves, that can be used outdoors.

Freestanding bunds up to 5 tons for 100 to 3150 kVA transformers. These bunds are made of sheet, 4 to 5 mm thick, hot dip galvanised for better corrosion resistance. Each bund can be equipped with a drainage valve, a safety drain for the evacuation of rainwater, an integrated haulage system, and vibration absorbers to reduce the noise nuisance when installed in a building. This equipment is mainly used to secure electric installations with public passageways nearby, in buildings, in electrical substations or in factories with their own transformation systems. They can be made to measure for all specific industrial applications.
