ONE SEVEN – APPLICATIONS
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIRES.
AND AS MANY FIELDS OF USING ONE SEVEN.
MUNICIPALITY
The One Seven® technology opens up a wide range of use for all types of urban fires – internal and external house fires, vehicle fires and burning garbage containers. House and apartment fires pose the greatest threat to life and property, especially in areas with high population density. Therefore municipalities need quickly ready for use and effective mobile firefighting systems.
With its short extinguishing times and its economical use of water the One Seven® system offers particularly effective loss prevention, preserves the water supply of the fire engine and thus enables longer operation times and better control of fire sources.
Plus: One Seven® firefighting solutions are easy to use and provide more security for firefighters, especially in dangerous indoor operations to save lives.
-
High security for firefighters due to higher efficiency of One Seven® extinguishing foam and One Seven® equipment
-
Conveyor height up to 400 meters, use of existing dry riser pipes possible
-
Shorter response times and superior extinguishing power due to compact sizes and easy handling of One Seven® systems
-
Universally suitable for (almost) all urban fires
-
Minor damages by extinguishing water imply less loss of rental income and lower insurance claims
ADVANTAGES
FIELDS OF USE
INDUSTRY
Thanks to their flexibility and excellent extinguishing power mobile One Seven® systems are being used in many industrial plants – especially where large areas need to be covered or sensitive installations must be protected. Suitable applications of the One Seven® technology:
​
-
Chemical industry
-
Petrochemical industry
-
Automotive production
-
Waste management/recycling
-
Energy supply
​
​
Furthermore One Seven® systems can even be used directly on electrical systems up to 100 kV and for fighting metal fires in first strike (aluminum, magnesium and zirconium).
-
Best possible protection in strategic units
-
Shortest time span until initial firefighting
-
Easy usability, also for non-firefighters
-
Optimal use of hard-to-reach resources such as water and foam agent
-
Lower insurance rates
-
Comparatively low maintenance costs
​
​
To ensure optimum fire protection in an industrial environment the combination of mobile One Seven® systems with our certified fixed compressed air foam systems is recommended.

FIELDS OF USE
TUNNELS
TUNNEL FIRES –
THE SPECIAL CHALLENGE
The main problem with tunnel fires is the high fire dynamic in combination with the often limited possibilities for evacuation. Therefore it is crucial to detect fires as early as possible and to fight them immediately – with stationary systems, already in the decisive minutes before the arrival of the fire brigade.
ADVANTAGES
-
Very effective firefighting with One Seven® compressed air foam
-
Flexible use for different types of burning materials/fluids
-
Protection of the tunnel structure by very good adhesion of the foam to walls and ceilings
-
Easy operation via the control center or on site
-
Extension of tunnel use possible, e.g. release for heavy load transportation and hazardous materials transportation
-
Individual system planning for different tunnel types and lengths
-
Low maintenance effort (remote-controlled valves, dry system)
-
Combination with One Seven® hose lines and/or use of defensive fire protection possible
AVIATION
HELIPORTS
For the approval and operation of elevated heliports firefighting systems must be in place. One Seven® extinguishing systems provide the required remote-controlled firefighting monitors and/or the hose lines with One Seven® compressed air foam and ensure reliable firefighting in all weather conditions.
ADVANTAGES
-
Compact fixed firefighting system
-
Use of the efficient One Seven® compressed air foam
-
Fast and efficient firefighting
-
Remote-controlled and automatic operation
-
High throwing distance of the special One Seven® extinguishing foam
-
Frost-resisting due to use of dry riser pipes
OFFSHORE
FIELDS OF USE
ADVANTAGES
Tank farms, refineries, offshore oil platforms and petrochemical plants are exposed to greatly increased risks of fires due to the processed products. For these branches One Seven® offers highly effective firefighting systems with One Seven® compressed air foam.
-
Complete fire protection even for large-scale industrial plants possible
-
Universal use of One Seven® extinguishing foam for different types of fire
-
Low installation effort
-
Large conveyor heights and conveyor lengths – keeping the optimal One Seven® foam quality
-
Subsurface applications with One Seven® compressed air foam possible
-
High throwing distances and use of monitors guarantee safety for firefighters
VEGETATION
FIELDS OF USE
Vegetation fires are a great challenge for firefighters: The fire must be extinguished fast and effectively because it can quickly assume uncontrollable proportions. Logistics supply of extinguishing agents is difficult in remote regions. And the environment should not be burdened with hazardous extinguishing additives. One Seven® compressed air foam systems are the solution for all these requirements!
ADVANTAGES
-
Low consumption of water and foaming agent for longer operation times
-
Compact systems for mobile use in hard-to-reach regions
-
Large systems with high throwing distances to prevent spread of fire
-
High mobility for firefighters due to light system components
-
High penetration power of One Seven foam for extinguishing deep seated pockets of embers
-
Fluorine-free foam biodegradable in short time
