Overview of Fire Protection System Design Consulting

Why Fire Protection Design Consulting is Necessary

According to Circular 50 on Fire Protection (No. 50/2017/TT-BCA), clear regulations have been established concerning principles, duties, locations, forces, equipment, and devices to be on standby for fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue operations. Unlike previous beliefs, ensuring fire safety is not solely the responsibility of authorities but also of the entire community and businesses. Fires can cause unpredictable damage to both property and human lives, making this issue critical.

Fire protection consulting services are becoming increasingly common, aiming to provide clients with fundamental knowledge about fire safety. Besides installing and implementing fire alarm and firefighting systems, it is important to keep the costs of these products economically reasonable.

Companies certified to provide fire protection consulting can participate in this field. For clients, choosing a reputable and responsible consulting service is crucial to ensure appropriate advice and quality safety equipment.

Fire protection consulting involves many aspects and factors, requiring thorough research and specific surveys, including implementing safety measures in compliance with the Fire Protection Law, ensuring designs meet technical standards, and handling procedures related to the approval of fire safety measures.

Designing an Effective Fire Protection System

Designing a fire protection system needs to be detailed, systematic, and tailored to actual needs while maintaining reasonable costs. Different terrains and operational facilities require appropriate fire protection systems, and installation must be suitable and effective for each facility.

Jycofire is one of the leading companies in fire protection consulting and design, with a team of experienced engineers providing top-notch solutions in Vietnam. After detailed consultation and providing suitable advice to clients, the design phase follows, and finally, the design approval process.

Design documents are sourced from reputable sources and top experts in fire protection, including foreign materials. One major concern for businesses and property owners when installing fire protection systems is cost. A smart fire protection design can address these cost concerns effectively.

BATFire, for example, provides detailed cost estimates for fire protection system designs before beginning installation to help clients manage their finances.

Common Issues in Fire Protection Design Consulting

Common mistakes in fire protection design include:

• Automatic sprinklers and fire hoses might not activate if the fire temperature does not reach 70°C to trigger them.
• Sprinkler heads placed on ceilings from 2.5-3 meters high might not activate for small, smoldering fires quickly.
• Using sprinklers is more suitable for large fires; small fires can be managed with powder extinguishers, saving costs.

Mistakes in the consulting and design phase can have serious consequences. Thorough, scientific research and contingency planning are necessary to ensure absolute safety.

Legal Regulations on Fire Protection Design Consulting

According to Decree No. 79/2014/ND-CP and Article 15 of the Fire Protection Law, new constructions, reconstructions, or changes in usage must comply with fire protection technical standards and regulations. Design and technical drawings related to fire protection must be reviewed by a legally qualified design entity.

Steps for Professional Fire Protection System Design

1. Information Gathering and Evaluation: Clients provide information and requirements. The technical team evaluates and classifies the project.
2. Technical Survey: The team measures and surveys the project site.
3. Designing the System: Design the fire protection system based on collected information and regulatory requirements.
4. Design Verification: The design must be verified by relevant fire protection authorities, including submission of application forms and technical illustrations.
5. Cost Estimation: Estimate the construction and installation costs based on the approved design.
6. Construction Planning: Develop a detailed plan for construction and installation, including time, resources, and schedule.
7. Economic Contracting: Execute agreements and contracts related to the project's financial aspects.
8. Installation: Carry out the construction and installation according to the prepared plan.
9. Project Acceptance: Ensure the system operates effectively and meets the established requirements.
10. Final Acceptance: Perform final acceptance with fire protection authorities and handle project warranty.
