Ensuring safe facilities and that personnel are protected are non-negotiable priorities in high-risk sectors such as Energy and Oil & Gas, due to the presence of highly flammable and explosive materials and substances. Unfortunately, accidents can have devastating consequences, resulting in loss of life, severe environmental damage, and immeasurable economic losses.
The causes of fires in these sectors are numerous, but they are often linked to human error, equipment failures, inadequate maintenance, or, more rarely, to natural events such as lightning.
In high-risk contexts such as onshore and offshore installations, power generation plants and Oil & Gas infrastructure, fire prevention is a critical asset that requires a multidisciplinary approach and cutting-edge technological expertise, in order to ensure plant safety, regulatory compliance, operational continuity and the protection of the workforce.
Companies must take appropriate preventive measures, such as staff training, regular maintenance of plants and equipment, installation of fire detection and alarm systems, and the development of emergency response plans.
For years, companies in the sector have specialized in developing innovative fire protection solutions, offering a comprehensive range of services that include design, installation, maintenance, and after-sales support.
A comprehensive portfolio for a sector with complex needs
The expertise gained over the years enables companies like Mozzanica to provide added value across various types of facilities, including the petrochemical industry, natural gas production, offshore platforms, storage sites, chemical and industrial processing plants, gas and oil transportation systems via pipelines, petroleum terminals, and power plants.
Integrated solutions and cutting-edge technologies
Mozzanica is able to manage complex projects at every stage, starting with a thorough preliminary risk assessment and continuing with detailed engineering, construction, installation and final supervision. Highly qualified design teams work in close collaboration with the client’s technical departments to identify the most effective risk mitigation solutions, utilizing advanced calculation software for structural and system analysis, as well as 3D CAD modeling platforms for project visualization and validation.
Companies must take appropriate preventive measures, such as staff training, regular maintenance of systems and equipment, installation of fire detection and alarm systems, and the development of emergency response plans.
Special attention is given to facilities located in seismic areas, where specific technologies are implemented to ensure the proper functioning of fire protection systems even under extreme conditions.
Adding further value is CtRM, a proprietary cloud-based digital platform that enables remote monitoring, telecontrol, and advanced management of fire protection system maintenance, optimizing response times and reducing costs.
A comprehensive approach to security: from detection to extinction
Mozzanica offers a wide range of integrated technologies for facility safety and personnel protection, including advanced fire detection systems, active and passive fire protection solutions, specialized fire-fighting equipment, and personal protective equipment.
Among the detection systems, those that stand out include smoke, gas, and flame detection systems, snuffing systems, predictive thermography for early thermal anomaly detection, VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) systems, fiber-optic-based solutions, and integrated thermographic systems.
For active and passive fire protection, available solutions include sprinkler systems, deluge systems, water mist systems, foam systems, powder systems, gaseous extinguisher systems (such as Inergen, Novec, inert gases, and wet chemicals) and ORS (Oxygen Reduction Systems), as well as smoke and heat evacuation systems and voice evacuation systems (EVAC).
The range of firefighting equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) includes specialized firefighting gear, certified fire doors and escape routes, fire-resistant shutters, extinguishers, hydrants, PPE and life-saving products, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD), emergency detection devices, and the complete outfitting of firefighting vehicles.
