Our expert consultants design bespoke fire systems that ensure optimal safety. This includes the selection and placement of fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems to meet regulatory requirements and enhance protection.

A Fire Systems Design consultation involves a thorough evaluation and detailed planning to ensure a building’s fire safety systems are effective, compliant with regulations, and customised to the property’s specific needs. The consultation follows several key steps:

Initial Assessment

A site survey and a needs analysis to identify specific requirements, concerns, and objectives for the fire safety systems.

Code and Regulation Review

A compliance check reviews relevant building codes, fire safety regulations, and standards, alongside all mandatory legal requirements and industry standards.

Risk Assessment

Identify potential fire hazards within the building, including materials, equipment, and structural elements. Assess the likelihood and potential impact of fire incidents, considering factors like occupancy, building use, and existing safety measures.

System Design

Fire Detection System Design: Including smoke detectors, heat detectors, and alarms.

Fire Suppression System Design: Including sprinklers, gas suppression, or foam systems tailored to the building’s needs.

Emergency Lighting and Signage: Ensuring the design includes adequate emergency lighting and clear, visible exit signage.

Integration and Coordination

System Integration: Ensure all fire safety systems work together seamlessly, coordinating with other building systems such as electrical, and security systems.

Coordination with Architects and Engineers: Collaborate with the building’s architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to incorporate fire safety systems into the overall design.

Documentation and Approval

• Design Documentation: Provide detailed plans, specifications, and documentation for the proposed fire safety systems.
• Approval Process: Assist in obtaining necessary approvals and permits from relevant authorities.

Installation Oversight

• Installation Guidance: Oversee the installation process to ensure the fire safety systems are installed correctly according to design specifications.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct inspections and tests to verify that the systems are functioning as intended.

Training and Handover

• Training: Provide training for building occupants and staff on using and maintaining the fire safety systems.
• Maintenance Plan: Develop a maintenance plan to ensure the ongoing functionality and compliance of the fire safety systems.

Review and Update

• Periodic Review: Conduct regular reviews and updates of the fire safety systems to adapt to changes in building use, occupancy, or regulations.
• Continuous Improvement: Implement improvements based on new technologies, best practices, and lessons learned from previous incidents.

A fire systems design is crucial for equipping a building with effective fire safety measures, protecting both life and property, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
