School Transformer Fire Protection

SYSTEMS TO PROTECT SCHOOLS FROM TRANSFORMER FIRES & EXPLOSIONS. KEEPING STUDENTS & FACULTY SAFE.

Protect schools from transformer explosions

Transformers are a potential hazard. If they explode, they can send shrapnel, flaming oil and mechanical parts flying up to 250' and equal to the force of a 44 magnum at 15'. Often times, transformers on school property are not enclosed and are located dangerously close to school grounds.

Protect from collateral damage

Most Utilities do not put transformers within 50' of each other to avoid failures from damaging other transformers. If one catches fire, it's very likely the other will as well. Our barriers correct that by creating a fire proof barrier between each transformer.

Meet NFPA Guidelines

NFPA National Fire Protection Association has standards and guidelines for transformer separation and protection. These guidelines typically require transformer fire barriers to separate the transformer from buildings, sidewalks, people. A modular fire barrier is a very efficient solution to meet this requirement, especially when space is limited.

Protect Your Students & Faculty

Many transformers at schools, especially in densely populated areas with little space, are located near the building, near walkways, or near playgrounds. They often appear as harmless boxes out in the open and children may play near these boxes not knowing the hazard they pose. It's very important to enclose transformers to prevent danger to people and property.

There are well over 100 School Transformer Fires Every Year

Transformer fires at schools are very common.  Many of these transformers are located in a dangerous vicinity to buildings, playgrounds, and walkways.  Not having barriers set up around these transformers greatly increases risk of harm to students & faculty.  It is important to ensure the safety of your students and faculty and meet NFPA guidelines.  Installing a modular fire barrier is a safe & effective solution to keeping property & people safe.

Our barriers protect from fire, explosion & shrapnel

Our Modular Transformer Fire Barriers are designed and fabricated to protect people, property, and other transformers.  They are resistant to fire, explosion, shrapnel, ballistics, arc flash, and heat.  They reach heights up to 60′ and can resist 150MPS wind load.  Our solutions are completely shovel ready, modular, scalable, and customizable to fit any space.
