Active Fire Protection Systems
Sprinkler, suppression, hydrant, and smoke extraction systems designed to the specific risk profile of the building — not a generic template.
What’s included
- Automatic sprinkler system design and specification.
- Suppression system specification by occupancy and risk type.
- Fire pump and water supply design.
- Hydrant and hose reel system design.
- Smoke and heat extraction system design.
- Structural and MEP coordination for system integration.
Where passive protection contains and slows fire through the building's construction, active fire protection systems are the mechanical and electronic systems that detect fire and actively respond to it — automatic sprinkler and suppression systems, fire pumps, fire hydrant and hose reel systems, and smoke and heat extraction systems. Designing these systems correctly requires close coordination with the building's structural and MEP design, since fire suppression systems in particular have significant implications for water supply, pump capacity, pipe routing, and structural loading.
We design active fire protection systems to be both code-compliant and genuinely fit for the specific risk profile of the building — recognising that a sprinkler and suppression strategy appropriate for a residential building looks very different from one required for a commercial kitchen, a plant room, or a car park, and specifying accordingly rather than defaulting to a generic solution.
