As we approach the thankful season, we want to reflect on the success of our business over the years. Today, we are looking back to the beginning one of our very first projects completed as North American Fire Protection.
In April of 2022, Kubota Manufacturing of America and Kubota Canada Ltd. celebrated the grand opening of a new 280-acre Research and Development Center in the state of Georgia. Our work included design and installation of a complete fire sprinkler system. We provided both wet and dry pipe systems and installed dry pendent sprinklers through the IMP ceiling of their cold testing labs. We enjoyed collaborating with our contractor and all the teams involved on this fun manufacturing project.
This reflection allows us to see the growth and variety of projects and vertical markets that we’ve served since the completion of the Kubota project. We’re thankful for the opportunities we continue to be blessed with and proud of our teams and the progress we’ve made.
Dry pendent sprinklers are typically installed in food process plants and box-in-box freezers where temperatures are below 40 degrees F.
Dry pipe sprinkler systems are generally used in cold climates and are highly effective in cold-temperature fire protection.
Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) systems are quick-responding, high-volume sprinkler systems that provide exceptional protection for high-piled storage occupancies.
Fire pumps are an essential part of many water-based fire protection systems. Fire Pumps are used to increase the water pressure (measured in psi) when the original water source is not adequate for the system it’s supplying.

Pre-action fire sprinkler systems employ the basic concept of a dry pipe system in that water is not normally contained within the pipes.
Wet pipe systems are the most common fire sprinkler systems. A wet pipe system is one in which water is constantly maintained within the sprinkler piping.
A special hazards fire suppression system is used to put out fires in areas where water damage from fire sprinklers can cause costly or irreparable damage to the assets being protected.
Linear Heat Detection (LHD) is an important component of fire protection systems, as it is designed to detect heat along the length of a sensor cable.
