Consulting for MPM Texas City Facility
Texas City, TX
RAN Fire Protection Engineering has a long-standing relationship with Momentive Performance Materials. In addition to Momentive facilities in the Northeast and Internationally, RAN provided a variety of services at their Texas City facility. This project excluded our previous services with Momentive of consulting with Momentive, designing systems, developing construction documents, and creating schematic layouts. To begin our work at this facility, RAN performed a facility evaluation for the existing fire protection systems. This involved reviewing all pertinent documentation of the fire protection systems in the facility, reviewing procedures, developing a needed fire flow for the existing conditions of the fire protection systems, and providing a report and provide recommendations. RAN also supported Momentive in assessment of risks caused by non-conforming conditions in fire detection, suppression, and control systems. RAN also provided an evaluation of the Insurance Company’s recommended upgrades, supporting Momentive in preparing and reviewing documentation for submission to the insurance company, and identification of any ancillary facility infrastructure upgrades.
SABIC
