Fire Sprinkler Design

1.      System Analysis: Assessing the building’s layout, occupancy type, and fire hazards to determine the sprinkler

          system requirements.

2.      Codes and Standards: Ensuring compliance with local building codes and national fire protection standards

          that govern the design and installation of fire sprinkler systems.

3.      Hydraulic Calculations: Performing hydraulic calculations to determine the water supply requirements, pipe 

         sizing, and sprinkler head spacing to ensure adequate water distribution and pressure.

 

4.      Design Layout: Creating a detailed plan showing the location of sprinkler heads, piping routes, control valves,

         and any necessary fire department connections.
 

5.      Material Selection: Selecting appropriate types of sprinkler heads, pipe materials, fittings, and other system

         components based on factors such as occupancy, hazard classification, and aesthetic considerations.
 

6.      Coordination with Other Trades: Collaborating with architects, engineers, and other professionals to integrate

         the sprinkler system design with other building systems, such as electrical, HVAC, and structural elements.
 

7.      Hydraulic Riser Design: Designing the hydraulic riser system, including the location, sizing, and arrangement

         of risers, as well as pressure-reducing valves and backflow prevention devices.
 

8.      Preparation of Construction Documents: Creating detailed construction drawings, specifications, and

         hydraulic calculations that serve as a guide for contractors during the installation process.
 

9.      Review and Approval: Submitting the design documents to the local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) for

         review and approval before construction can commence.
