Fire protection in South Shields is operating at the frontier of the UK's energy transition. The Port of Tyne is now home to the onshore operations hub for Dogger Bank Wind Farm - the world's largest offshore wind farm and the infrastructure demands that come with it are substantial.
At FirePro UK, whether it's protecting diesel generator enclosures, UPS systems, control room electrical infrastructure, HV/LV distribution rooms, or marine vessel maintenance environments, we have a certificated solution from single-enclosure to room flood scale.
Our advanced condensed aerosol technology is LPCB, UL, and VDS certificated, carries a 15-year lifecycle and a 3-year warranty, and outperforms pressurised gas systems on installation speed, cost of ownership, and environmental impact.
With no pressurised cylinders, no pipework, and no overpressure venting required, FirePro is built for the complex, mission-critical environments found across South Shields and the wider South Tyneside area.
South Shields sits at the centre of one of the UK's most significant offshore energy clusters. The Dogger Bank Wind Farm Operations and Maintenance Base on Enterprise Way, Tyne Dock, monitors approximately 5% of the UK's total electricity generating capacity from a single onshore facility. Control room electronics, UPS systems, backup power, diesel generators, and service operation vessel maintenance all operate continuously across this site.
FirePro works differently from conventional suppression systems.
Our patented FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a condensed aerosol that floods the protected space, interrupting the chemical chain reactions of combustion at the molecular level.
The result is rapid, clean suppression with:
From the Port of Tyne's deep-water berths to South Tyneside District Hospital's electrical infrastructure and the International Advanced Manufacturing Park's advanced engineering operations, FirePro provides protection without compromise.
Today’s modern landscape holds a myriad of fire risk challenges that demand fresh thinking, innovative solutions for a safer, greener future.
From sub stations, transformers, HV/LV, electrical distribution, and risers. FirePro swiftly suppresses fire, minimising critical equipment damage
In the era of remote sites, FirePro's versatile and easy-to-install systems offer effective fire protection without compromising efficiency.
The significant rise in imported bulk li-ion energy storage facilities from overseas may also mean a significant increase in fire risk, especially when poorly engineered. Why compromise, FirePro has the answer.
Whether on land, marine or offshore, FirePro ensures fail safe, resilient fire protection for many types of power generation, plant, machinery, even ATEX environments.
South Shields is no longer primarily a coastal market town, it is an active offshore energy hub, with world-scale infrastructure, mission-critical electronics, and continuous 24-hour operations. Standard alarm and extinguisher-based fire safety is not sufficient for environments of this complexity.
The Dogger Bank O&M Base, the Port of Tyne's Tyne Dock Enterprise Park, South Tyneside District Hospital, the International Advanced Manufacturing Park, and the South Tyneside Manufacturing Zone all share a common requirement: automatic suppression that activates at source, without water, without shutting down operations, and without damaging the critical systems it is designed to protect.
That is precisely what FirePro delivers. LPCB certified, non-pressurised, and designed for unmanned and continuously operational environments, FirePro UK is the suppression technology partner South Shields's offshore, marine, and industrial base has been waiting for.
Yes. Offshore O&M facilities including those with diesel generators, UPS systems, HV/LV distribution, and control room electronics are among the most appropriate environments for FirePro. The system activates automatically without water or pipework, and ATEX-certified variants are available for potentially explosive atmospheres.
Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across South Shields, South Tyneside, and the wider North East.
Our patented FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a condensed aerosol that floods the protected space, interrupting fire's chemical chain reactions at the molecular level. There are no cylinders, no pipework, and no pressurised agents, just fast, clean suppression with no secondary damage to electronics or electrical systems.
Yes. FirePro is the only condensed aerosol fire suppression product to hold LPCB product certification in the UK, independently tested to BS EN 15276. This certification is recognised by insurers, loss adjusters, and building control authorities.
Absolutely. FirePro is designed for exactly these environments. Activation is fully automatic on detection, requiring no manual trigger and no occupant response. This makes it ideal for 24-hour control rooms, unmanned electrical rooms, and offshore maintenance facilities operating around the clock.
