The scene of the IWMA 2016 conference in Vienna was the perfect opportunity for Danfoss Semco to talk about big scale installations. Usually 3,000 nozzles represent a big project for any fire fighting supplier. Danfoss Semco went far and beyond by supplying more than 30,000 nozzles for a 250,000 m² university hospital protected entirely with a SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist system for fire fighting. The hospital is called DNU Skejby Hospital and is one of the first super-hospitals in Denmark and among the biggest in North Europe.

SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist system for fire fighting - one technology to cover a 250,000m² hospital

The Fire Fighting Strategy for this hospital had as an ultimate result ensuring MAXIMUM fire safety level. The SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist system is the optimum fire fighting solution, with reliability and safety in mind. The audience  got to learn that by using SEM-SAFE^®  from Danfoss Semco, all the applications in  the hospital can be protected with only one technology: high-pressure water mist. Besides that,  the SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist system is a solution that saved the hospital millions due to the system’s flexibility, small pipe diameter, great architectural freedom and fast installation. Lasse Sørensen Laustsen, country manager at Danfoss Semco, talks about the benefits of using SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist in hospitals

Staying healthy and fit not only makes sense, but it also enables you to perform better

All companies strive for superior performance. There are many ways to improve performance. In Danfoss Semco we work both on the hard and the soft side. Naturally staying loyal to our strategy is very import and so is using the large Danfoss tool box to optimize all processes in the firm. However staying healthy and fit is equally important. That is one of the reasons we have a running club in Danfoss Semco. The goal is always to have more participants in the annual ”Eventyrløb” (the fairytale run named after Hans Christian Andersen who was born in Odense). Danfoss Semco has participated in the run for more than 10 years and 2016 saw the highest number of participants ever. 42 employees and family members, ranging from 1 year to 54 years, enjoyed a nice day with hot dogs and drinks after the run.
