Fire water is critical infrastructure
JUMBO BLOCK stores large volumes of fire water underground directly beneath traffic and operational areas – permanently available, protected and space-saving. The same construction can also retain contaminated fire-fighting water if required.

Storage
Large-volume fire-water storage
Fire-water stores can be integrated beneath roads, logistics areas or industrial plants. Fire-protection requirements are met without losing valuable surface area. The water is immediately available to the fire brigade and for operational emergency measures.
Unlike open basins, the full volume is preserved as a strategic reserve even after long heatwaves. A reliable fire-water supply reduces the risk of water shortage during fire fighting – a point that matters to authorities and insurers.
Withdrawal
Hydrants directly above the store
The system is designed for integrating heavy-duty hydrants and withdrawal points – even on walkable and trafficable decks above the modules. This shortens distances and response times in industrial parks and densely built-up areas.
Multiple use
The same water serves fire protection, process cooling and technical irrigation.
Scalable
The store grows with the plant and neighbourhood and adapts to rising requirements.
Monitored
With level sensors and the dashboard, the reserve can be verified at any time – important for critical facilities.
Retention
Retaining contaminated fire water
In a fire, fire-fighting water can pick up pollutants. A sealed underground retention space prevents it from entering sewers, soil or watercourses. With chemical-resistant SABA sealing systems, JUMBO BLOCK can also be designed for such applications; sizing and execution follow the applicable requirements in each case.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How large can a JUMBO BLOCK fire-water store be?
Each module provides 13.9 m³. By lining modules up, stores from a few hundred to several thousand cubic metres can be built.
Does water evaporate from the store?
Hardly. The store is closed by cover and wall plates; unlike open basins, the volume is preserved even during heatwaves.
Can hydrants be placed directly on the store?
Yes. Withdrawal points and heavy-duty hydrants can be integrated on the trafficable decks above the modules.
