Fire Engineering Solutions

Every advance that we have had in the area of fire, is due to the use of intelligence, improvement and innovation in the design phase. A well designed project will protect against the tragedies of a fire (deaths and material losses) and will also save a lot of resources for the company.Chamatex in partnership with Elfire has already developed for Vale S.A.The company's main objective is to develop and implement fire detection, alarm and suppression projects, adding efficiency and cost-benefit with intelligence and innovation to electrical substations in masonry, metallic structure, electro-centres and data centres spread throughout the mining area, equipment responsible for all the energy supply of the ore production and information management.
