One of the most important decisions that any business owner makes involves choosing the right insurance coverage. Depending on the carrier, fire insurance may be a standard offering. Especially when dealing with certain risks, such as a transformer fire separation, it is critical that you have the necessary protection.

Compared to other types of fires, a transformer fire is considered the most dangerous. In addition to significant damage, there is a major risk of injury and even death, both on- and off-site. Even if a substation fire is relatively small, it poses a massive risk. This is why having the right insurance coverage is essential.

For ultimate protection, it is important to have a properly rated transformer fire separation wall in place. With the right wall that is correctly positioned and spaced, the damage and risk to human life are dramatically reduced. Regardless of the transformer’s insulation, you need to work with a reputable company. For instance, a company like DuraSystems will give you confidence that the right transformer fire separation wall is constructed.

Specific to a transformer fire, the wall assemblies manufactured by DuraSystems are for passive fire protection in modern construction. These walls are made to provide up to four hours of fire protection. If the situation warrants, DuraSystems also manufactures wall penetrations and fire-rated doors for optimal protection.
