Fire & Gas
Detection Systems
for Industrial Facilities

We design, supply, install, and commission fire and gas detection systems for refineries, chemical plants, mining operations, and manufacturing facilities across Southern Africa. Every system is built to meet IEC 61511 and SANS 10089 requirements.

Fire & Gas Detection

Protecting People and Assets in
High-Risk Environments

Industrial facilities face serious risks from fire, toxic gas, and explosive atmospheres. A properly designed and installed fire and gas detection system is one of the most important layers of protection you can have on site.

At Touch Teq Engineering, we handle the full project lifecycle. From initial hazard assessment and system design through to supply, installation, commissioning, and handover. Every system we deliver is designed for your specific facility, your specific risks, and your specific compliance requirements.

We work directly with plant managers, engineering teams, and HSE managers to make sure the system does what it needs to do, is properly documented, and is ready for inspection.

What We Offer

Full-Scope Fire & Gas Detection Services

01

Hazard & Risk Assessment

We assess your facility to identify fire and gas risks, determine detection zones, and recommend the right system architecture before any equipment is specified.

02

System Design & Engineering

We produce detailed system designs including detector placement, cause and effect matrices, cable schedules, and full documentation packages aligned with IEC 61511 and SANS 10089.

03

Equipment Supply

We source and supply fire and gas detection equipment from trusted OEM suppliers only. No gray-market components. No substitutions without client approval.

04

Installation & Commissioning

Our engineers handle on-site installation, loop testing, and full system commissioning. We do not hand off to subcontractors. The same team that designs the system installs it.

05

System Integration

We integrate fire and gas detection systems with existing control systems, PLCs, DCS platforms, and building management systems where required.

06

Maintenance & Support

We provide scheduled preventative maintenance and 24/7 emergency callout support to keep your system operational and compliant at all times.

Why Engineering Matters

A detector is only as good as its placement. We use advanced mapping software to ensure zero blind spots in your facility, accounting for wind patterns, obstruction, and gas buoyancy.

Engineer-Led Projects

Every fire and gas detection project is managed and executed directly by a qualified engineer. You always know who is responsible for your system.

2

Compliance From Day One

We design to the standard, not around it. Your documentation, cause and effect matrices, and commissioning records are ready for inspection from day one.

3

OEM-Approved Equipment Only

We only supply equipment from approved manufacturers. Every component is traceable, warranted, and supported by the OEM.
