Industrial Fire Protection
John E. Green Company has more experience in the installation of fire suppression
systems for heavy industrial plants than many companies specializing in this field. Our
work includes fire suppression systems for:
 | automotive manufacturing assembly plants |
| paint process equipment areas |
| chemical plants |
| automated high-density storage racks |
| engineering and testing facilities |
| generating stations |
| cooling towers |
We install all types of sprinkler systems:
| wet |
| dry |
| pre-action and deluge |
| combined dry-pipe and pre-action |
| circulating closed loop |
We well undertake systems of any size, and have provided installations as large as
38,000 sprinkler heads.
John E. Green's own experienced work force handles all aspects of sprinkler system
installation. This includes:
| underground supply piping |
| fire pumps |
| ground level suction and gravity tanks |
| distribution piping and sprinkler head installation |
| monitoring systems |
We have also installed specialized systems designed for computer areas,
transformers, and chemical fire hazards, including:
| foam |
| halon |
| high and low pressure carbon dioxide |
| water fog |
 
More than 38,000 sprinkler heads were required for the hydraulically-calculated fire
suppression system that John E. Green installed in a major new automotive plant. The
project also included diesel/electric fire pumps, and both halon and low pressure carbon
dioxide systems.
As prime contractor for automated paint systems in several major automotive plants
throughout the Midwest, we have installed hydraulically-designed sprinkler systems to
protect paint mixing, circulation, and application areas.
John E. Green installed a total of 26,500 sprinkler heads in two simultaneous
projects for one truck manufacturer. We installed a 14,000 head system at a new plant in
Pontiac, Michigan, while installing a 12,500 head system at a new parts warehouse in
Belleville, Michigan. Both projects included underground piping, hydrants, P.I.V.'s,
ground level suction tanks, fire pumps, overhead distribution piping, and special hazards
protection.
 
John E. Green was the prime contractor for an upgrade of the fire suppression system
at a manufacturing plant in Adrian, Michigan. Our work forces replaced an obsolete
underground fire loop with over 7000 feet of 8 and 12 inch ductile iron pipe, including
hydrants and sectional control valves. Our contract also included new draft curtains, new
smoke release vents, and renovation of an existing 300,000 gallon ground level suction
tank.
For a warehouse storing highly flammable plastic materials at the Adrian plant, we
supplied both overhead sprinklers and a special sprinkler system piped directly into the
storage racks.
