High-Rise and Residential
The evacuation time for a high-rise building can be up to one hour, which is why reliable fire protection is essential for survival.
Requirements
The aim of fire safety regulations in high-rise and residential buildings is primarily to save human lives, while firefighting is to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
It can take up to an hour to evacuate a high-rise building, so reliable fire protection is essential for survival. Our high-performance systems are specially designed for high-rise and residential buildings, work reliably with high pressures and large quantities of water, prevent the spread of fire and bind smoke particles and soot by atomising water. They also reduce the risk of contamination. Visibility improves, making it easier for people present to escape. Another advantage is the environmental compatibility of water as an extinguishing agent.

Holzhauer-Pumpen was significantly involved in developing the idea of supplying pump units in compact design more than 30 years ago. Since then, we have achieved the highest level of perfection when it comes to this design, which has enabled us to defend our technological leadership over the competition.

Our HSA exhaust system is equipped with all the necessary connection parts and components that are compatible with our units. This significantly reduces assembly times. The individual components also have a much lower weight than conventional, welded steel pipe systems, which in turn allows for assembly with minimal effort.

The exhaust gas aftertreatment for our diesel systems regenerates automatically, is equipped with a pressure and temperature probe and is connected to the controller.

Noise has a negative effect on both the entire body as well as on our health. Diesel fire pump units are loud and subject to intense vibrations due to their design – thanks to our SCHALLEX system and other measures, such as encapsulation of the entire unit, we have managed to reduce vibrations and noise down to a minimum.

Our fully automatic pressure boosting systems reliably supply in the capacity range up to 1,500 m³/h and pressures up to 25 bar:
- Hydrant systems
- Service water systems
- Fire-fighting water circuits
- Water supply systems
The units are precisely coordinated, designed, manufactured and tested for the respective project specifications, pumped media and application requirements and, on request, approved on our performance test bench in accordance with all applicable national and international guidelines and standards. Optionally, a control room connection via PROFIBUS® / PROFINET® or Ethernet interface is possible.
