SESSIONS

Gaseous fire systems and the insurance sector

Have you been involved in the design, installation or maintenance of special protection systems? Or ever been curious about how these systems stack up against fire sprinklers?

Then join us for a discussion on gaseous fire systems that will:

  • Clarify the critical elements of a robust design
  • Consider the limitations of this technology, and what happens when it doesn’t work as intended
  • Demonstrate how engineering and research can best help protect property assets
  • Help you understand where insurance fits into all of this

If you would like to know more about loss prevention engineering and want to share the experience of engineers who have overseen multiple projects, then join us for this informative and fast-paced session.
