Production operations that are at an increased risk for fire or explosion are enclosed in specially reinforced areas. The building is sprinkled throughout. An back up generator was installed to supply power to the electric fire pump and other critical equipment in case of emergency.
The design was based on a facility assessment done by Cromwell and working with the owner and their vendors.
