Fire Fighting Design, Modelling & Drafting Services

Sprinkler Services (Hydraulic Calculations)

The most important system to be taken care of in a building service is for sure, it is a Fire fighting engineering service. It is because and its main aim is to protect human life first and building and its valuable properties.

While designing it is very important to make sure of having enough water tanks for water storage as per NFPA standards as well as local codes. The next point to have a proper pumping system to get adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping system to reach sprinkler distances as per hazardous codes. We have to make sure of access of brigades to each hydrant location and keeping proper valves. We use to calculate Hydraulic calculations according to building design.

While doing modelling, drafting we will make sure to overlay ID drawings to coordinate with false ceiling and other services. So the advantage of having thorough knowledge in design, we use to double-check to follow NFPA codes and also follow as per local city codes.

There are different types of fire suppress available in the market, which can be designed and use as per room specification to avoid spoiling the items inside the room. We have to taken care especially for computer room, electrical room, hospital, special manufacturing units etc.

Some types are as follows:

THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

We have 2 different riser systems available, one is a wet riser and another is a dry riser. The wet riser system is filled with water, which is connected to the pump in the pump room with the Jockey pump. This line will be a full time pressurized line and detecting the fire, the sprinkler bulb will explode and start automatically pumping and helps sprinkler to the water required areas.

The Dry riser system consists of air instead of water. When firefighter reaches, they open a hydrant either from the fire storage tank or from external fire tanker. This is mostly done where there is a high risk of freezing the water inside the pipe.

How can we collaborate BIM services in Fire Fighting engineering?

Yes, it is possible to prepare BIM service in sprinkler shop drawing preparation or schematic drawing preparation. We prepare up to LOD 500 model. We do generate model as per submittal by creating parametric families.

Building Information Modeling is a process, which gives Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings including infrastructure. This process extensively knows as BIM. This intelligent 3D model-based process is becoming more adaptable throughout the world. In CAD drafting services in AEC field (Building service Consultancy), each stage we called it as SD, DD, CD or tender document, Fabrication. In BIM Service, it is extensively known as LOD.
