Fire Suppression System Design

Expert Services

A correctly engineered fire suppression system is essential for limiting flame spread, safeguarding critical assets, and meeting insurer requirements. FireAlarm.com provides system designs in accordance with NFPA 13, 15, 750, 2001, the International Building Code (IBC), International Fire Code (IFC), and industry best-practices. Our code-compliant solutions are tailored to your facility and the specific risks that threaten your security. As such, we pair the right extinguishing agent; water, foam, clean agent, inert gas, or water mist with the hazard it protects.

Effective suppression design balances water supply characteristics, commodity classifications, discharge criteria, architectural constraints, and environmental challenges. Our engineers perform hazard analysis, hydraulic calculations, and agent concentration modelling, and develop detailed plans, risers, and valve schedules that integrate with detection, ventilation, and emergency‑power systems. This standards‑driven documentation supports smooth authority review, and straightforward installation and commissioning.

FireAlarm.com delivers precise, jurisdiction‑ready suppression designs on a timely schedule. We track local amendments and evolving NFPA/FM standards, embedding the latest requirements into every drawing set to minimize change orders and future retrofit risk. To discuss system options or request a design proposal, contact us or email [email protected] and connect with a licensed engineer.
