PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Fire Suppression pumps
Britten Storage Facility
TRAVERSE CITY, MI

AFP Specialties recently completed the design and installation of a new fire suppression system featuring a high-capacity fire pump at the Britten Storage Facility in Traverse City, Michigan. This custom system was engineered specifically to protect high-piled and rack storage areas containing Group A plastics, which are known to present elevated fire hazards due to their combustible nature.

Our team ensured full compliance with NFPA standards for warehouse fire protection, including the proper classification, spacing, and installation of sprinkler systems and fire pumps. The system was designed to deliver rapid response and adequate water flow to mitigate risk in environments with high-density plastic storage.

Ingram Horse Barn
WILLIAMSBURG, MI

When needed, AFP Specialties can install exposed piping systems that complement the architecture of high-end spaces, including timber-framed buildings like this one. Through thoughtful layout and attention to detail, we ensure the piping integrates cleanly with the overall design.

IS BUILT ON RESULTS

Burdco Inc has been using the services of AFP for about 20 years. I think that is a testament to their good work. Their design staff has helped us with many design build projects and their field people are friendly and easy to work with. They know what the local fire departments require and they get it done. We plan on using them for the next 20 years.
