Fire Extinguishing Systems Design

The design of fire suppression systems is a critical stage in the fire protection of any building. It consists of the technical and strategic planning of the systems necessary to detect, contain and suppress a fire in its early stages, minimizing damage to people, property and operations.

Phases of the Design Process

  • Risk assessment: Analysis of the use of the building, combustible materials, occupancy and applicable regulations.

  • Hydraulic calculations and technical specifications: Definition of flow rates, pressures, pipe diameters and nozzles.

  • Drawings and schematics design: Single-line diagrams, equipment location, piping and wiring routes, activation and control points.

  • Selection of the type of system: According to the identified risk (Aerosols, water, gas, foam, CO₂, chemical dust, etc).

  • Review and validation: Verification by specialized engineering and regulatory compliance.

  • Integration with existing systems: Coordination with detection panels and systems, alarms, HVAC systems, automation, etc.

DESIGN OBJECTIVES:

  • Protecting the lives of occupants and personnel is the primary objective of the fire protection system.

  • Comply with local and international regulations (NFPA, FM Global, NOM, etc.).

  • Integrate efficient and sustainable solutions adapted to customer needs.

  • Ensure the structural and operational integrity of the facilities.

Tailor-made solutions to protect what matters most.

TYPES OF SYSTEMS DESIGNED
