A French industrial distributor specializing in lubricants, paints, and solvent-based chemicals. The company serves several automotive and manufacturing plants across southern France and faced increasing challenges with flammable and oxidizing material storage compliance.

Customer Pain Points

Before contacting SUPER, the client faced three major issues:

1. Non-compliance with FM6049 and EU regulations — Their old outdoor containers lacked fireproof design and leak containment, leading to frequent audit warnings.

2. Poor weather resistance — Continuous exposure to sun, rain, and coastal humidity caused corrosion and structural deformation of their existing steel storage.

3. High installation cost & downtime — Traditional brick or concrete hazardous storage rooms required permits, construction time, and long project lead cycles.

The client needed a ready-to-use, fully certified solution that could safely store both drums and IBC containersoutdoors while complying with French and EU hazardous goods standards.

SUPER’s Solution: Outdoor Fireproof Building for Hazardous Goods

After a technical consultation, SUPER CO., LTD recommended its Outdoor Chemical Storage Fireproof Building, engineered according to FM6049 and designed for flammable, corrosive, toxic, and oxidizing substances.

Key features implemented for this French project included:

• Heavy-duty welded tubular steel framework with reinforced side and roof panels.

• Dry chemical fire suppression system integrated inside the unit.

• Built-in leak sump to contain accidental spills and prevent ground contamination.

• Technical forced ventilation system to manage gas concentration levels.

• Static grounding connector and complete earthing kit for electrostatic protection.

• Fully compliant signage and hazard labels in French and English.

SUPER delivered the entire building fully assembled, complete with roof lifting eyes for direct unloading at the client’s site. The customer was able to connect power and grounding within one day, and the storage unit was fully operational without construction delays.

Customer Feedback

Following installation, the client reported immediate improvement in both safety compliance and operational efficiency:

“Our auditors were impressed with the design and documentation. This outdoor fireproof unit not only passed inspection but also allowed us to separate flammable and oxidizing materials safely. The delivery process was smooth — it arrived fully assembled and ready for use.”

The customer also noted reduced maintenance requirements compared to previous locally fabricated units and highlighted the modular design’s scalability for future capacity expansion.
