High-Volume Hangar Protection
Aviation & Aerospace
Aircraft hangars present unique high-challenge fire scenarios purely due to fuel loads and roof heights. We implement high-expansion foam and deluge systems that meet NFPA 409 standards without grounding ongoing operations.

Aircraft hangars present unique high-challenge fire scenarios purely due to fuel loads and roof heights. We implement high-expansion foam and deluge systems that meet NFPA 409 standards without grounding ongoing operations.
Aircraft hangars are among the most challenging environments for fire protection due to the massive fuel loads present in modern aircraft and the immense open volumes of the structures. Standard ceiling-only sprinklers are often insufficient to control a pool fire under a wing.
Sterling designs comprehensive suppression strategies that combine overhead deluge systems with ground-level high-expansion foam generators. This dual approach ensures rapid cooling of the roof structure while simultaneously blanketing the floor to smother fuel spills. We integrate optical flame detection (UV/IR) to trigger suppression in milliseconds, preventing catastrophic loss of high-value aviation assets.
