OUR KNOW-HOW IN THE AIRPORT FIELD
Being in the fire detection field since a long time, DEF equips airports all over the world: Paris CDG, Marseille, Lyon, Cairo, Jakarta, Dakar, Casablanca, Abidjan, Phnom Penh...
In our approach of these sites, we initially assess the overall functional requirements:
- taking into account the varied exogenic risks,
- the reliability of the system,
- the guarantee of free operation,
- the limitations of restraints in public zones,
- the obligation of an optimal maintainability.
Then, we carry out a detailed risk analysis taking into account the particular characteristics of the site:
- its structures: volumes of great height (halls of terminals, technical zones),
- the specificity of public zones: variable calorific value, with significant factor of propagation,
- sensitive zones: the risks are mixed, the zones to be protected being multiple (commercial zones compartmentalised and on variable surface, zones of intensive crowd passage).
