Fireblock

Integrated system for aboveground or underground installation that combines a storage tank and a technical compartment housing with a certified pressurization unit, ready for fire‑fighting projects compliant with applicable regulations.

  • Flow rate Q up to 150 m³/h
  • Tank capacity up to 112 m³ effective

The Fireblock fire-fighting system is a prefabricated solution that integrates a water storage tank and a FIREBOX technical module into a single system, designed to house a fire-fighting pump set in compliance with UNI EN 12845 The two elements (tank + technical compartment) are connected by a robust metal frame with gaskets, engineered to ensure operational continuity and to protect connections. Main pipework — including pump suction, test‑circuit return to the tank and recirculation lines — are routed inside the pre-fab module, reducing typical issues of external installations such as freeze while simplifying system operation and maintenance. The solution is intended for infrastructure and industrial contexts (e.g., outdoor areas, sensitive sites, installations with space or security constraints), with a focus on accessibility, compliance and reliability.

Key Features

  • The structure is composed of: A FIREBOX Module and an outdoor water reserve tank.
  • Internal piping in the technical compartment: greater protection and system order, less exposure to external agents.
  • Sandwich panel walls fully openable for full access for personnel and components.
  • Design oriented towards installation in seismic zones (dedicated technical sizing).
  • Compliance and Certifications: UNI EN 12845:2020, UNI 11292:2019, UNI EN 10779, UNI EN 1090 (EXC2), Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, references to Legislative Decree 81/08 and ISPESL Guide 12/06/2008.

Advantages

  • Operator safety: absence of ladders and reduction of potential hazards during access/maintenance.
  • Faster maintenance thanks to full openings and accessibility on multiple sides.
  • Outdoor reliability: protected connections and compact configuration, suitable for variable environmental conditions.
  • Documentable compliance: certifiable structure and manufacturing process (essential for specifications and audits).
  • Water reserve sized for the effective capacity required by the project.

Technical specifications

  • Design and execution according to UNI EN 1090 Part 1 and 2 with CE certifiability of the structural steelwork.
  • R60 steel load-bearing structure (60-minute fire resistance) according to UNI EN 12845:2020 10.3.1.
  • Sandwich panels (total thickness 80 mm) with rock wool insulation (A2-s1,d0) according to UNI 11292:2019 5.1.
  • Workspaces and internal dimensions compliant with UNI 11292:2019 5.2.2 (clear height ≥ 2.4 m, overhead piping ≥ 2 m).
  • Ventilation (in case of diesel pump) with axial extractor and UPS support with 6-hour autonomy, according to UNI 11292:2019 5.4.2.
  • Internal room protection according to UNI EN 12845:2020 10.3.2 with sprinkler, flow switch and test/drain circuit.

Customizations

  • Standard color RAL 7035 (light gray) for module and tank.
  • Sizing and configurations based on project: tank capacity, internal layout, system predispositions, and equipment according to specifications and risk class.
