Services

Fire protection, start to finish.

How a project runs

Four stages, one team.

From the first site visit to the yearly service, the same Gasela team carries your project. Each stage ends with a clear report, so you always know where you stand.

Wet sprinkler systems

Only the head over the fire opens.

  1. 01

    Water waits in the lineIn a wet system the pipes are always full, so there is no delay.

  2. 02

    Heat bursts the bulbWhen a fire is present, its heat bursts the core of the nearest sprinkler head.

  3. 03

    One head dischargesOnly heads exposed to fire open. That limits water damage and contains it to where the fire is.
