Release the Foam! New Fire Suppression System Testing with TC's Aircraft Services

Take a look at the testing of the new Fire Suppression System project in TC’s Aircraft Services hangar in Ottawa.

Replacing a fire suppression system in a very busy facility is complex and requires much planning; almost 18 months in this case.

The new and improved system uses sprinklers that protect the building with a 2% high expansion foam that protects aircraft. It also offers significant environmental improvement, as the foam is contained in a large reservoir, as opposed to being discharged into the sewage system.

The modernization and testing for such an important project happens every 20 to 30 years. This is just one of the many interesting activities TC’s aircraft services team is planning.
