Our Sprinkler System Design Services
Hazard & Occupancy Analysis
We evaluate building use, ceiling heights, storage configurations, and material hazards to establish the exact NFPA hazard classification required.
Head Layout & Pipe Sizing
Using CAD and BIM platforms, we position sprinkler heads to maximize coverage while avoiding structural beams, ductwork, and lighting fixtures.
Hydraulic Flow Calculations
We model water supply pressure and flow rate to size branch lines accurately, avoiding over-engineering while ensuring full fire suppression capability.
Riser & FDC Detailing
Complete design of main risers, test headers, alarm valves, backflow preventers, and external Fire Department Connections (FDC).
Tenant Fit-Outs & System Retrofits
Tailored modifications and pipe rerouting for commercial office upgrades, retail layouts, and industrial building alterations.
Integrated Life Safety Design
Complete coordination with fire alarm initiating devices, flow switches, tamper switches, and smoke management systems.

Our Design Process
Information Gathering & Site Review
We collect architectural plans, ceiling profiles, building occupancy details, and local municipal water flow test data.
Layout & Spacing
We position sprinkler heads and lay out main/branch piping to ensure total floor coverage while respecting architectural features.
Hydraulic Modeling
We run computer-simulated hydraulic calculations to confirm adequate water pressure and determine exact pipe sizing.
Trade Coordination
We cross-check pipe elevations against HVAC ducts, cable trays, and structural elements to deliver collision-free plans.
Stamped Permit Package
We issue P.Eng.-stamped drawings, hydraulic calculation sheets, and specifications ready for municipal building department submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D?
NFPA 13 covers standard commercial and high-rise structures, NFPA 13R applies to low-rise residential buildings up to four stories, and NFPA 13D is designed specifically for one- and two-family dwellings.
Do I need a water flow test before designing a sprinkler system?
Yes, recent water flow test data from the local municipality is required to perform accurate hydraulic calculations for pressure and volume.
Will the sprinkler piping interfere with HVAC ducts or lights?
No. Our 3D CAD/BIM coordination process ensures sprinkler lines are routed clear of ductwork, light fixtures, and ceiling features prior to installation.
