Services 101: Fire Protection

We spend a lot of time talking about how services are an essential part of building design and operation, in this series we are taking intentional look at what exactly services are.

 Next up, Fire Protection services.

 

Fire protection and fire services provide solutions to minimise the risk and impact of fire. Systems are designed to meet the unique requirement of each building or space across fire hydrants and hose reels, suppression systems, detection and alarm systems, emergency warning and intercommunication, portable extinguishers, and smoke hazard management. Alternative solutions may be available for building code compliance.

 

Fire protection and systems are an aspect of a building everyone hopes are never used, when they are needed the impact is immense. Fire protection systems are designed to prepare and protect occupants of the space and emergency services personnel, protect the facility in case of fire and mitigate damage to structure, equipment, fabric and building contents all while limiting the emission of chemicals.

 

During design, our Engineers and Designers consider best practice international, national, and local statutory codes and standards, and risk management approach to ensure solutions provided keep occupants safe while working with the design intent of the space. A key safety and compliance requirements our accredited practitioners ensure the solutions provided meet the requirements for the design and certification of fire protection systems
