Battery energy storage systems are becoming an increasingly important part of modern energy infrastructure.

From renewable energy projects and industrial facilities to data centres and utilities, battery installations help provide reliable, flexible power.

However, storing significant amounts of energy also introduces a critical consideration: fire safety.

If a battery fire occurs, the surrounding infrastructure needs to help contain the incident, protect neighbouring equipment and reduce the potential for fire to spread.

Choosing the right material for battery fire containment walls is therefore an important part of site design.
