Global Car Park Fire Protection, using Linear Heating Detection with Fibre Optic Sensing Technology and Fire Suppression Systems.
Global Car Park Fire Protection
Linear Heat Detection & Fire Suppression for Car Parks
Ideally suited for car park applications, our Bandweaver FireLaser Linear Heat Detection Systems, combined with our Fire Suppression Systems from AutoFireX®, have a proven track record of providing highly reliable and effective fire safety, detection, and protection solutions in large, multi-storeyed Car Parks in Commercial and Industrial facilities (Shopping Malls, Airports, Railway Stations, Factories, etc.), including large indoor spaces.
Fire Safety Risks in Car Parks
Car Park Fire Protection presents unique challenges for detection due to large areas, high fuel loads, and unknown vehicle conditions. Statistics show that 71% of car fires are caused by vehicle defects, with wiring and battery issues among the most common causes. Additionally, over 50% of fires are deliberate, and 38% can lead to flashover to other vehicles.
These risks are ever-increasing due to factors such as larger vehicles, smaller parking spaces, increased fuel tank capacities, more plastics in car construction, and the prevalence of electric vehicles and EV charging stations. Traditional smoke detectors often trigger false alarms due to vehicle emissions, while point-type heat detectors may miss a fire if it isn’t directly under a sensor.
Early detection is critical to minimise damage and prevent flashover. Prompt action can contain a fire to a single area, whilst delays can cause significant damage to infrastructure and pose risks to personnel.
Car Park Fire Detection & Protection
Using Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology, our Linear Heat Detection (LHD) Systems feature a centrally located sensor control unit that measures temperature at any point along the connected fibre-optic sensing cable. With readings recorded and displayed continuously along the entire length, it eliminates gaps in fire and radiant heat detection.
With a lifespan of 30+ years, these systems offer the unique capability to configure smart alarms in conjunction with smart zones, enabling each zone to have its own configuration tailored to its environmental conditions or to be integrated with other elements of your system.
At DeXfire, we can support you with your Fire System Design for ceilings, cable trays, and EV charging zones; integration with Fire Suppression Systems and ventilation controls; guidance on mixed-use structures (retail, residential, commercial); and retrofits in older car parks. This delivers enhanced safety, reduced operational disruption, and future-proof protection for EV-ready car park facilities.
