Fire Services Design
PJ Wright & Associates have extensive experience in the hydraulic fire services design of hydrant, hose reel and drencher design for all classes of buildings and occupancy.
Working in close consultation with the client, project architect and the fire engineer, we can develop cost-effective designs that fully address the project and client needs. All aspects of the project will be considered and a risk analysis performed to ensure the entire project is adequately protected from fire hazards and that their consequences controlled, either for a basic “Deemed to Satisfy” fire service designs, or complex designs based upon engineered solutions.
Due to a growing demand on existing agency water infrastructure, a decrease in available flows and pressures for firefighting has occurred. Many clients do not foresee potential additional costs to ensure the building is adequately protected from fire.
As a result, the building may require the installation of fire tanks and pumps in order to be able to provide the required flows and pressures. Not only can this prove a costly but it also may result in a large area of the site being required for the fire tanks and pumps to be located.
Early consultation with PJWA will ensure that the client is aware of what is required for their project to meet all approvals in regards to fire protection.
