Total Industrial Solutions

What Total Industrial Solutions does

Total Industrial Solutions (TIS) is a US-based industrial fire protection contractor and operating unit of Total Fire Protection, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan with six regional offices across Colorado, Florida, Montana, and Michigan. The company designs, installs, and maintains fire suppression and detection systems for high-hazard industrial environments — primarily serving Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Petrochemical, Refining, Manufacturing, Aviation, Marine, and Chemical customers. Its core product lines include nitrogen-pressurized dry chemical suppression systems, AFFF foam suppression systems (including ARFF variants for aviation) in low/medium/high expansion configurations, multi-spectrum (UV, IR, UV/IR) flame detection systems, and fire pump systems (centrifugal, vertical turbine, positive displacement, diesel).

The company's technology stack is built on conventional industrial fire protection engineering augmented by an exclusive commercial partnership with Siron USA for patented Dry Deluge Testing Technology — a vapor-based method that replicates the hydraulic properties of water for testing deluge systems without operational downtime, water damage, or wastewater disposal. It also holds NFPA membership and a NICET-certified design team, and has recently extended into PFAS/FFF-free foam transition consulting via a strategic partnership with CDM Smith, addressing regulatory pressure on fluorinated firefighting foams.

TIS operates a sales-led, enterprise field-sales go-to-market targeting oil & gas and power generation clients. Revenue is generated through project-based installation and upgrade contracts, recurring multi-year inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) service agreements on the installed base, and specialized dry deluge testing engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; multi-year ITM contracts create an annuity-like revenue overlay on top of lumpy project work. The company is privately held under the Total Fire Protection parent group, with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or headcount.

Products and services

• Dry Chemical Suppression Systems Industrial fire protection systems using pressurized dry chemical powder (nitrogen-powered) for rapid fire suppression in high-risk environments such as paint spray booths, flammable liquid storage areas, and petrochemical facilities. Modular design requires only unit replacement after discharge.
• Foam Fire Suppression Systems (AFFF) Water-based fire suppression systems with foam extinguishing agent that cool the fire, separate fuel from oxygen, and suppress flammable vapors. Available in low, medium, and high expansion configurations, with alcohol-resistant (AR-AFFF) variants.
• Flame Detection Systems Radiant energy detection devices using UV, IR, or UV/IR combination technologies to detect flames, glowing embers, and coals in industrial environments including oil and gas facilities, petrochemical plants, aircraft hangars, and automotive manufacturing.
• Fire Pump Systems Fire water pumps including centrifugal, vertical turbine, positive displacement, and diesel-powered pumps that maintain adequate water pressure for fire suppression in buildings and industrial facilities with low municipal water pressure.
• Dry Deluge Testing Services Specialized testing service using Siron's patented vapor generator technology to test deluge fire suppression systems without water — reducing corrosion risks, eliminating wastewater disposal, and avoiding operational downtime versus traditional wet testing.
• Inspections, Testing & Maintenance Services Comprehensive inspection, testing, and maintenance services for foam systems, dry chemical systems, water spray/cooling systems, fire pumps, deluge systems, detection & control systems, and foam proportion testing under multi-year service contracts.
• ARFF Foam Fire Suppression Systems Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting foam suppression systems with transition support to PFAS-free (FFF-free) alternatives through partnerships with Siron USA and CDM Smith, geared toward aviation fire protection.
