e TecK recently upgraded fire hydrants at twelve (12) of e Teck’s Legacy Light Industrial Parks. The project, which began in September 2021 and ended in December 2021 falls under e TecK’s Strategic Initiative, Asset Optimization and was aimed at providing a more reliable fire extinguishing system to protect persons and properties on e TecK’s parks in the event of a fire.
This project entailed servicing the existing functioning hydrants, replacing the non-functioning hydrants with new units and installing additional hydrants in strategic locations, as per recommendations by our key partner, the Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service (TTFS) at the following parks shown in Table One (1).
