Fire Suppression Systems
Choose a fire suppression solution based on the area to be protected.
The choice of fire suppression system should take into account the materials to be protected, how the area is used, the building infrastructure and operating conditions. Narstek tailors its services to site requirements, from needs assessment through to maintenance.
Risk and needs assessment
The area to be protected, existing services and operational requirements are reviewed. The scope of work is defined for a new installation, capacity change or upgrade.
System design and selection
Water-based and gaseous solutions are assessed according to the conditions in the area. Calculations, equipment selection and coordination with relevant disciplines are carried out in line with project requirements.
Installation and control interfaces
The installation of mechanical and electronic components is planned according to the project scope. Interfaces with detection, alarm and control systems are considered together.
Commissioning and maintenance planning
Commissioning checks, records and maintenance requirements are determined according to the system type. Changes to an existing system and any parts required are clarified through a technical assessment.
The same fire suppression method is not suitable for every area
A warehouse and a room containing electronic equipment have different requirements. The area’s use, contents to be protected and existing infrastructure are assessed; for gaseous systems, life safety requirements and the control scenario are also considered. The solution is not selected solely on the basis of floor area or product price.
About Fire Suppression Systems
Is floor area information sufficient to select a system?
No. The area’s layout, intended use, contents to be protected and existing services must also be assessed.
Can an existing fire suppression system be upgraded?
The system type, physical condition, equipment compatibility and current use of the area are assessed to determine options for modification or replacement.
Should the fire alarm and fire suppression systems be assessed together?
The detection, alarm and control interfaces required by the project are planned together; system scenarios and interfaces are addressed during commissioning.
