FIRE PROTECTION
Youngstown, Ohio

Heavy Industrial Expertise
Grunau Company’s Youngstown, Ohio, fire protection office specializes in systems for industrial and heavy industrial facilities such as:

• Electric power generating plants
• Steel-making plants
• Chemical plants
• Metal stamping facilities
• Automotive plants
• Titanium processing facilities
• Printing presses
• General manufacturing plants
• Semiconductor fabricating plants

Our team is familiar with the installation constraints, variable material requirements, and project management skills that are specific to these industries. Projects of this magnitude generally have a substantial number of contractors on site. We are experienced in coordinating our work with large groups of diverse people to install the needed systems quickly, smoothly and on-time to meet the customer’s start-up date. Our ability to communicate and coordinate translates into minimal interruptions and time lost for the customer.

We are accustomed to working with specific grade piping and the durable materials needed to withstand the abuse and vibrations often present at industrial plants. We abide by higher material quality standards to ensure the long-term durability of the fire protection systems.

We also provide system start-up testing, annual system inspections, and performance testing of the systems as applicable.

The Youngstown office also provides similar services and installation for fire sprinkler systems for commercial, retail, health care, institutional and multi-tenant residential properties.

Room Integrity Tests A clean agent system often is used to protect sensitive electronic equipment found in many computer and telecommunications rooms. Our Youngstown fire protection team conducts room integrity tests to verify that an enclosure or room is adequately prepared for a clean agent system. Rooms are pressurized to find potential paths of agent loss. If a clean agent system already has been installed, we can re-confirm that the integrity of the enclosure has not been compromised. Network Control Systems At our Youngstown office, we have the unique ability to design, fabricate and install fire detection, fire alarm and network control systems to meet client specifications. Our integrated network systems are designed to provide fire detection and alarm control for individual areas of a large complex. When the local system detects an abnormal condition, it alerts the facility operator to its exact location. This helps to quickly and accurately direct a fire response team as needed. We provide annual testing and servicing for our network control systems as well.
