Schneider EV Garage Prevention & Containment System
Where Safety Begins Before the Fire

In every great story, there is a decisive moment, the moment when danger is detected early enough to prevent disaster. The Schneider EV Garage Prevention & Containment System was engineered to be that decisive moment.

In a world increasingly powered by lithium-ion batteries, from electric vehicles to advanced residential energy systems, the risks associated with battery incidents have grown more complex. Thermal runaway is not an abstract threat. It is a chain reaction that can escalate with extraordinary speed, overwhelming conventional fire protection measures that are designed to respond only after flames are visible.

We chose a different path.

From the very beginning, Schneider Containment committed to a simple but powerful principle: prevention must come before reaction. Not because it is easier, but because it is right. Because protecting people, property, and continuity demands more than compliance. It demands leadership.

The Schneider Garage Prevention & Containment System is a fully integrated 3-layer safety architecture, purpose-built to detect, suppress, and contain lithium-ion battery incidents before they escalate into catastrophic thermal runaway. This is not a collection of separate components. It is one engineered system, designed to work as a single, coordinated shield.

Layer One: Early Detection — The First Line of Defense

Every battery failure begins at the cell level. Long before visible flames appear, there are chemical warning signs: microscopic failures, heat development, and hydrogen off-gassing. These early indicators are invisible to traditional fire detection systems.

Our system intervenes at this earliest possible stage.

By continuously monitoring for hydrogen release and other chemical precursors, the Schneider system identifies single-cell failure before ignition occurs. This is the critical difference. When a threat is recognized at its origin, escalation can be interrupted before it becomes uncontrollable.

In many cases, this early detection alone drastically reduces the likelihood that suppression or containment layers are ever required. It transforms the narrative from emergency response to proactive control.

Layer Two: Intelligent Suppression — Precision, Not Panic

Should a situation progress beyond initial detection, the system transitions seamlessly into intelligent suppression. Unlike conventional systems that flood an area reactively, our architecture is designed for controlled and targeted intervention.

The goal is not only to extinguish flames, but to stabilize the environment, cool affected components, and interrupt the thermal chain reaction. This precision reduces collateral damage, minimizes downtime, and preserves structural integrity wherever possible.

It is the difference between reacting to chaos and mastering it.

Layer Three: Engineered Containment — The Final Safeguard

In the unlikely event that a battery incident escalates further, the containment layer stands ready. Purpose-built and structurally engineered, it isolates the affected area, preventing propagation to surrounding assets.

This final safeguard ensures that even in worst-case scenarios, the impact remains controlled and confined. People remain protected. Buildings remain secure. Operations remain resilient.

Three layers. One mission: stop the threat before it defines the outcome.

Designed as One Complete System

True protection is never an afterthought. The Schneider Garage Prevention & Containment System is delivered as one integrated solution, pre-configured, engineered, and commissioned as a unified architecture.

There is no fragmentation. No compatibility uncertainty. No guesswork between detection, suppression, and containment.

Each system is carefully tailored to its environment, whether installed in high-end residential garages, commercial facilities, or mixed-use developments. Aesthetic integration, architectural harmony, and technical excellence go hand in hand. Safety should never compromise design, and design should never compromise safety.

To ensure flawless execution, installation and commissioning are performed by certified local experts trained specifically in Schneider systems. This guarantees not only regulatory compliance, but operational confidence from day one.

A New Standard of Responsibility

Conventional fire protection waits for flames. We do not.

The Schneider approach recognizes that modern energy systems require modern thinking. As lithium-ion batteries become embedded in daily life, the responsibility to protect must evolve accordingly.

This system is more than technology. It is a commitment, to prevention over reaction, to leadership over conformity, and to safeguarding lives above all else.

When safety is engineered at the molecular level of risk, catastrophic escalation is no longer inevitable. It becomes preventable.

That is the power of early intervention.
That is the strength of integrated design.
That is the purpose behind every Schneider Containment system.

Because heroes are not defined by how they respond to disaster —
but by how they prevent it.
