Loic Gauilard, Technical Director of Paradigm, will be presenting at Hazardex Live 2026 about digital dry deluge testing - an innovative approach to fire deluge compliance.

Traditional approaches to managing fire deluge system compliance often rely on performance-based water testing and qualitative judgments, which can also induce long-term asset integrity issues.
Utilising digital techniques for dry deluge testing technology, provides a quantitative framework for assessing the compliance of a system without the need to introduce water.

By using digital technology combined with low pressure air and specialized sensors, methods to detect the degradation mechanisms associated with wet testing (such as corrosion, fouling), can be achieved to provide empirical evidence supporting ongoing compliance and operational safety.
