Port Arthur fires up 70,000-SF Tyco facility

PORT ARTHUR – A new 70,000-sf facility, located at 9605 Richard Wycoff Dr., has opened. The facility will house Tyco Fire Protection’s renowned Williams Fire & Hazard Control (WF&HC) solutions team. The estimated cost of construction was $4.2 million, according to state filings.

"Our Williams Fire & Hazard Control solution is a critical component of our operations, and builds on decades of leadership in fire protection for the oil, gas and petrochemical industry," said Colleen Repplier, President of Tyco Fire Protection Products.

The facility is home to a team of WF&HC industrial emergency firefighters. Core to the site’s operations is the engineering, production and testing of WF&HC’s large volume supply of fire protection equipment.

Additionally, a high-tech classroom for year-round continuing education and accredited fire protection curricula will be included in the facility.
