NorthAlto provides access to a comprehensive range of industrial fire protection, fire suppression and Fire & Gas detection solutions through our partnership with SANCO S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer specializing in engineered fire protection systems since 1988.
Fire & Gas Detection Systems
.Advanced Fire & Gas detection systems provide continuous monitoring and early warning for critical industrial environments.
SANCO systems combine control and monitoring platforms with technologies for flame, smoke, heat and gas detection, supporting integrated protection of personnel, equipment and process facilities. The modular Infinity control platform is designed for system integration, operational continuity and high-risk industrial applications.
Water Fire Suppression Systems
Water Deluge systems
SANCO deluge systems are designed for high fire-risk areas such as refineries, petrochemical plants, power stations and critical industrial process zones.
Unlike sprinkler systems, deluge nozzles remain open and water flow is activated by the fire detection system or manual release. Once the control valve opens, large volumes of water are discharged simultaneously across the protected area, providing rapid cooling, full coverage and effective fire suppression.
Each system is engineered through hydraulic calculations and risk analysis, using suitable certified components and materials in accordance with applicable NFPA, EN and UNI standards. Integration with Fire & Gas detection systems enables fast and coordinated activation for reliable protection in demanding industrial environments.
Sprinkler System
SANCO sprinkler systems provide automatic and reliable fire protection for industrial, commercial and civil applications. Heat-sensitive sprinkler heads activate at a predefined temperature, discharging water directly onto the affected area to control fire and limit its spread.
SANCO offers wet, dry and pre-action systems for different operating environments, including heated facilities, freeze-prone areas and applications where accidental discharge must be minimized.
Water Mist Systems
SANCO water mist systems use fine water droplets to rapidly absorb heat, suppress combustion and cool the protected area while minimizing water use and potential damage to equipment.
Available in high- or low-pressure configurations with automatic or manual activation, these systems provide flexible protection for industrial, civil and marine applications where operational continuity and equipment protection are important.
Foam Fire Suppression Systems
SANCO foam systems are designed for environments where flammable liquids and hydrocarbons are present. The foam forms a stable blanket that suppresses flames, cools surfaces and helps prevent re-ignition.
Solutions are available in low, medium and high expansion configurations, with fixed, mobile and plug-and-play options for industrial areas, warehouses, storage tanks and confined spaces.
Gas Fire Suppression Systems
Inert Gas Systems
SANCO inert gas systems use agents such as IG-541, IG-100, IG-01 and IG-55 to suppress fire by reducing oxygen concentration without leaving residue. They are suitable for sensitive and occupied environments such as data centers, electrical rooms, control rooms, laboratories and archives.
Halocarbon Gas Systems
SANCO halocarbon clean-agent systems use agents such as HFC-227ea and FK-5-1-12 to suppress fire rapidly by absorbing heat and interrupting combustion. They are designed for the protection of critical equipment, industrial processes and sensitive environments.
CO₂ Fire Suppression Systems
SANCO CO₂ systems provide fast, clean and electrically non-conductive fire suppression by reducing oxygen concentration and cooling the protected area. They are particularly suited to Class B and C fire risks, including flammable liquids and energized electrical equipment.
Dry Chemical & Twin Agent Systems
Dry Chemical Systems
SANCO dry chemical systems provide fast and effective suppression for Class B and C fires involving flammable liquids and gases. Using high-performance extinguishing powders, they rapidly interrupt combustion and help prevent re-ignition.
Available in fixed, mobile and skid-mounted configurations, with discharge through piping, monitors or hose reels, these systems are suitable for refineries, terminals, power plants, industrial facilities and offshore applications.
Twin Agent Systems
SANCO twin agent systems combine dry chemical and foam to provide fast and sustained suppression for Class A, B and C fires. The dry chemical delivers rapid flame knockdown, while the foam helps prevent re-ignition and provides continued surface protection.
Available in fixed, mobile and trailer-mounted configurations, these systems are suited to refineries, petrochemical plants, fuel depots, offshore platforms and other high-risk industrial applications.
Fire Water Pump Sets
SANCO fire pump sets provide a reliable water supply for hydrant, sprinkler, water spray and foam systems, maintaining the required pressure and flow when a fire protection system is activated.
A typical package includes a main electric or diesel-driven pump, jockey pump, control panel, valves, headers and instrumentation. Systems are engineered in line with applicable international standards and can be configured to suit project-specific water sources, operating conditions and fire protection requirements.
Fire Suppression Equipment
Fixed fire suppression equipment
SANCO’s fixed fire suppression equipment includes above-ground and underground hydrants, wall hydrants, hose reels, fire hose cabinets, wet and dry risers, fire department connections, and control and isolation valves.
These components are designed to provide reliable water distribution and emergency access across industrial plants, warehouses, infrastructure and other high-risk facilities.
Mobile fire suppression equipment
SANCO’s fixed fire suppression equipment includes above-ground and underground hydrants, wall hydrants, hose reels, fire hose cabinets, wet and dry risers, fire department connections, and control and isolation valves.
These components are designed to provide reliable water distribution and emergency access across industrial plants, warehouses, infrastructure and other high-risk facilities.
