In the evolving energy and utilities landscape, where high-voltage systems, energy storage, and interconnected technologies continue to advance, the need for robust fire protection has never been more critical. Power generation sites and transmission stations operate with complex electrical infrastructure, introducing risks that require specialized detection and suppression strategies tailored to each environment. Similarly, oil and gas facilities face significant fire and explosion risks due to the handling, processing, and storage of flammable materials, requiring specialized fire protection strategies to address flammability, toxic exposure, explosion hazards, and electrical risks.
Key Fire Risks in Electrification
High Voltage Systems: Electric power facilities rely on high voltage components that demand specialized knowledge and advanced fire protection technologies to address the risks associated with electrical faults and overheating.
Battery and Energy Storage Hazards: Lithium ion battery systems and large scale energy storage facilities pose unique challenges. Thermal runaway events, although rare, require targeted suppression solutions to prevent escalation and protect equipment, personnel, and surrounding property.
Transition Stations: Critical in managing the flow of electricity across distribution networks, transition stations must have effective fire protection measures in place to prevent interruptions in power supply and ensure safe operations.
Interconnected Systems: Modern power infrastructure integrates communication systems, control centers, and automated processes. Protecting these interconnected networks requires a holistic approach to detection, monitoring, and suppression.

Special Hazard Protection for Oil & Gas
Oil and gas operations require specialized fire protection systems to address the risks associated with flammable liquids, combustible gases, and rapidly developing fires. Viking teams across Canada implement specialized detection technologies, including flame detectors, and integrate detection and suppression systems to help protect personnel, critical equipment, and industrial infrastructure.
By combining application-specific detection with engineered suppression solutions, Viking helps address the unique fire protection challenges found in oil and gas processing, storage, and other high-hazard environments.
FireFlex® ICAF Compressed Air Foam System
To manage industry-specific hazards such as Class B pool fires, spill fires, and cascading fires, Viking offers the FM Approved FireFlex® ICAF compressed air foam system, a deluge-type system that can be activated electrically, pneumatically, or manually. Built using high-quality components from Viking Corporation and FireFlex® Systems, it provides effective fire suppression for large surface areas involving flammable liquids, helping rapidly control fires, prevent re-ignition, and cool surrounding areas while potentially reducing water demand and associated environmental impacts.

OUR SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS
We have the right solution for your project!
Ermine Power Station
Ermine Power Station is a natural gas fired facility owned by SaskPower near Kerrobert in Saskatchewan. Built to operate as a peaking plant, it supports the provincial grid during periods of high demand. The station strengthens local energy reliability by providing flexible generation capacity and modern infrastructure to the region.
Viking Fire Protection delivered complete fire protection services for this project. The work included the design, supply, and installation of the full fire alarm and releasing systems, along with four clean agent systems and one vortex water mist system. These systems were integrated to support safety, protect critical equipment, and meet applicable code requirements.
Ladore Generating Station
Ladore Generating Station is a hydroelectric facility that contributes to regional power production by converting the energy of moving water into electricity. Its operation supports local demand and adds dependable renewable generation to the surrounding area.
Viking Fire Protection supplied and installed the fire protection piping systems and the fire pump package for this station. The work ensured that the facility is equipped with dependable infrastructure to support safety, protect assets, and meet applicable requirements.
