Overview of Fire Protection System Design Consulting

Why is Fire Protection Design Consulting Necessary?

According to Circular 50 on Fire Protection (No. 50/2017/TT-BCA), clear regulations have been set out regarding the principles, tasks, locations, forces, equipment, and devices required to be ready for fire prevention, firefighting, rescue, and emergency response. Contrary to previous views, ensuring fire safety is not only the responsibility of competent authorities but also a duty for both the community and businesses. Fire and explosion incidents can cause unpredictable damage to property and human lives, so this issue cannot be taken lightly.

Fire protection consulting has become increasingly popular today, aiming to provide clients with basic knowledge about fire safety. Along with installing and implementing fire alarm systems and firefighting equipment, it is important to keep the costs of these products economically reasonable.

Companies that are certified to provide fire protection consulting services are authorized to participate in this field. For clients, choosing a reputable and responsible consulting service provider is crucial to ensure that they receive appropriate advice and high-quality safety equipment.

Fire protection consulting involves various aspects and factors, requiring thorough research and specific surveys, such as implementing fire safety measures according to Fire Protection Law, ensuring designs meet technical standards, and handling procedures related to fire safety approval.

How to Design Fire Protection Systems Appropriately

Fire protection system design needs to be detailed, methodical, and tailored to practical needs with reasonable costs. Each terrain and operational facility requires a fire protection system. However, how to install it effectively can vary from one facility to another.

Jycofire is one of the leading companies in fire protection consulting and design, with a team of experienced engineers providing top-notch fire protection solutions in Vietnam. After detailed consulting and providing suitable recommendations, the process includes fire protection system design and final approval of the design.

Our design documents are collected from reputable sources and top experts in the field of fire protection, including extensive reference to foreign materials. One concern for business owners and facility managers when installing fire protection systems is cost. In addition to meeting standards, excessively high costs may make it unaffordable for many businesses and smaller facilities. A smart fire protection design can address this concern.

For BATFire, before starting the installation of fire protection systems, detailed pricing is provided for clients to review and balance their finances.

Some Notes When Consulting on Fire Protection System Design

Common mistakes in fire protection design consulting include:

• Automatic sprinklers or fire hoses being improperly installed so that they do not activate when the fire occurs because the temperature at the fire site does not reach 70°C to trigger activation.
• Sprinkler heads installed on ceilings at heights of 2.5-3 meters, so small, smoldering fires on the floor may take a long time to activate.
• Therefore, using sprinklers for large-scale fires is appropriate, while small fires can be managed with fire extinguishers, which can save costs.

Any mistakes in the consulting and design process can lead to unforeseeable consequences. Therefore, careful, scientific research and self-rescue plans are essential to ensure absolute safety.

Legal Regulations on Fire Protection Design Consulting

According to Decree No. 79/2014/ND-CP, Article 15 of the Fire Protection Law specifies regulations related to new construction, reconstruction, or changes in usage. These activities must adhere to fire protection standards and technical regulations.

The approval of fire protection design and technical drawings must be carried out by a design unit with full legal status.

Steps for Professional Fire Protection System Design

Fire protection system design steps must follow national standards and fire protection laws. Depending on each contractor's working process, the steps may be adjusted to ensure client satisfaction and design effectiveness. Here is an overview of the professional fire protection system design steps:

1. Receive Information and Assess the Project: In the initial stage, the client provides information, documents, and requirements related to the fire protection system. The technical team assesses and classifies the project to understand specific needs and requirements.

2. Technical Survey: The technical team visits the project site to measure dimensions, survey actual conditions, and project location.

3. Design the Fire Protection System: Based on information from steps 1 and 2, the contractor designs the fire protection system to meet specific client requirements and fire protection regulations.

4. Design Approval: The fire protection system design needs to be approved by the competent fire protection authority. The approval file includes an application, approved planning documents, estimated total investment, and technical illustrations.

5. Estimate Construction Costs: The contractor estimates the construction and installation costs of the fire protection system based on the approved design.

6. Create Construction Plan: Develop a detailed construction plan including timeline, resources, and schedule for building and installing the fire protection system.

7. Economic Contract: Finalize agreements and contracts related to the project's financial aspects.

8. Installation: Proceed with the construction and installation of the fire protection system according to the prepared construction plan.

9. Project Acceptance: Conduct acceptance testing to ensure the fire protection system operates effectively and meets the required standards.

10. Final Acceptance: Perform final acceptance with the fire protection authority and provide project warranty.

Thus, designing a fire protection system is a complex process that requires caution and adherence to regulations to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Current Fire Protection System Design Items

Providing consulting and designing fire protection systems tailored to the specific needs of each unit and individual is crucial in this field. Here are some basic items in fire protection system design:

• Conventional Fire Alarm System Design: Build a basic fire alarm system including sensors, alarms, and notification systems to detect and alert about fire hazards.
• Addressable Fire Alarm System: Design an addressable fire alarm system using unique addresses for each sensor to pinpoint fire locations more accurately.
• Water-based Fire Fighting System: Create a water sprinkler system to suppress or control fires, including sprinklers or high-pressure water nozzles.
• Gas-based Fire Fighting System Design: Build a gas-based fire suppression system to create a non-flammable environment, often using hydrocarbon gases.
• Aerosol Fire Fighting System Design: Use aerosol to create small particles that can extinguish fires by reducing oxygen and toxins.
• Foam Fire Fighting System Design: Create foam to cool and isolate fires, prevent fire spread, and facilitate extinguishment.
• Kitchen Fire Protection System Design (Range Guard): For restaurants, hotels, or facilities with kitchens, this system detects and controls fires in cooking areas.

Depending on the type of building, specific safety requirements, and local regulations, fire protection system consulting and design will be adjusted to ensure effectiveness and safety.
