Industry Code: 42144
This is a supply and install industry of fire sprinkler systems found in buildings, parkades, plants, and special areas or projects such as in and around vessels or transformers.
Operation Details:
Fire sprinkler installation is similar to plumbing where piping is installed throughout an area, often overhead in ceilings. Sprinkler heads are attached at strategic intervals, and the system is hooked up to a water supply. Other mediums may include dry chemicals, liquid alkalyd salt, or halon gas, however, these are supplied on a smaller scale such as installation in one room only.
Businesses may utilize handtools, ladders, gauges/meters, trucks, warehouse/sales front, and employ plumbers, technical staff, warehouse staff, sales/estimators, office/administrative staff, and may also sell and service other fire protection/suppression equipment such as fire extinguishers which is included in this industry.
All employers in this industry are members of the Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA).
