Fire extinguisher inspection and renewal services
Fire extinguisher inspections in Finland can only be carried out by Tukes approved Fire extinguisher agency. The agency must also have a certified responsible person. Fire extinguisher inspections and service are described in detail in Decree of Ministry of Internal Affairs SMa (917/2005).
Caverion’s experienced and certified team performs fire extinguisher inspections on site inside the turbine. This way you don’t need to carry the extinguishers away from the turbine or bring change bottles, as the bottles can be damaged when moved to a different location. Fire extinguisher bottles are also subject to pressure test every 10 years. If you have change bottles you will have double the costs.
With Caverion’s service you can bring your costs down by combining fire extinguisher inspections and renewal with wind turbine service lift and nacelle crane maintenance and repairs.
