DETECTION

Early detection, rapid response and effective protection.

Fire Detection Systems Design 

The design of a fire detection system is essential for the early identification of risk situations, allowing a quick and effective response that minimizes damage and protects the lives of the occupants. This design contemplates the correct selection, location and integration of electronic devices capable of identifying smoke, heat or flame, according to the characteristics of the building and its risk level.

Phases of the Design Process

  • Risk analysis and environmental assessment: Classification of areas according to their level of risk and activity.

  • Selection of technologies: Smoke, heat, flame, gas, aspiration (VESDA) detectors, among others.

  • Strategic distribution of devices: According to the geometry or structure of the site, air flow, type of ceiling and regulations.

  • Integration with other systems: Automatic extinguishing, control panels, evacuation systems, remote monitoring or BMS.

  • Technical documentation: calculation report, drawings, specifications and compliance reports.

  • Cabling design and zoning: Determination of system architecture (conventional, addressable or hybrid).

DESIGN OBJECTIVES:

  • Ensure early detection of fires and minimize response times.

  • Comply with local and international regulations (NFPA 72, NOM-002-STPS, etc).

  • Coordinate detection with alarm, evacuation and extinguishing systems.

  • Protect human lives, critical assets and operational continuity.

Detection Solutions Tailored to Each Environment.

TYPES OF SYSTEMS DESIGNED

Intelligent addressable systems:

Able to identify the exact device generating the alarm.

Conventional systems:

For simpler installations and technical sectors with a low number of zones.

Aspiration detection systems (VESDA):

For critical environments such as data centers or electrical rooms.

Integrated systems with audio evacuation:

For applications where guided evacuation is essential (hotels, hospitals, public buildings).
