Classic Fire + Life Safety is honoured to have been awarded the fire protection contract for the NextStar Electric Vehicle Battery plant in Windsor, ON by A-BM (Alberici/Barton Malow).

This is a 4.5 million sqaure foot facility that will be Canada's first large-scale lithium-ion battery production plant, and one of the largest in the world!

Scheduled to start installing the base-building sprinkler system in January 2023, it is estimated that the length of this project will range from 18 months to 24 months.

Systems being installed include, in-rack sprinklers, fire pumps, special hazard supression, and base-building sprinkler system.

We are looking to expand our team of Sprinkler Fitters and Apprentices to install the cutting-edge sprinkler and fire suppression systems.

We look forward to working with all the trade partners on this landmark project.
