Commercial & Industrial Sprinkler Systems
While a fire alarm helps protect people, getting them out of harm’s way, the sprinkler system’s job is to douse the fire and protect the building. Sprinkler systems are usually installed in commercial and industrial buildings, but can also be found in apartments and even some homes.
Commercial businesses have a responsibility to protect their employees, customers, and property from the dangers of fire. A fire sprinkler system is an effective way to meet this responsibility. Fire sprinklers are designed to automatically activate in the event of a fire, releasing water to help extinguish the flames. In order to be effective, fire sprinklers must be properly installed and regularly maintained. Regular maintenance includes inspections of the system components, testing of the water supply, and flushing of the pipes to remove sediment build-up. By ensuring that their fire sprinkler system is properly installed and maintained, commercial businesses can help to ensure the safety of their people and property.
ANNUAL SPRINKLER TESTING & INSPECTIONS
While a fire alarm helps protect people, getting them out of harm’s way, the sprinkler system’s job is to douse the fire and protect the building. Sprinkler systems are usually installed in commercial and industrial buildings, but can also be found in apartments and even some homes.
Commercial businesses are required to have their sprinkler systems tested and inspected annually. The purpose of these tests is to ensure that the system is functioning properly and that there is no risk of fire. During the inspection, a certified technician will inspect all of the sprinkler heads and valves. They will also test the water pressure and flow rate to make sure that the system is able to provide adequate coverage in the event of a fire. Once the inspection is complete, the technician will provide a report detailing any issues that were found. This report will be submitted to the local fire department for their records. Commercial businesses that fail to have their sprinkler systems tested and inspected on a yearly basis may be subject to fines or other penalties.
How to Choose the Right Fire Sprinkler System for Your Business?
Commercial businesses have a responsibility to their employees, customers, and the general public to take all necessary precautions to prevent fire hazards. One of the most effective ways to do this is to install a fire sprinkler system. There are several different types of fire sprinkler systems available, and the best option for your business will depend on factors such as the size of your premises and the nature of your work. For example, if you have a large warehouse, you may need a system that can cover a larger area. Alternatively, if you run a restaurant, you may need a system that is specifically designed to suppress cooking fires. Whatever your specific needs, there is a fire sprinkler system that is right for your business. By taking the time to assess your risks and choose the right system for your premises, you can help to keep your business safe from fire hazards.
We have the experience and expertise to evaluate your needs, and determine the best solution to protect your business.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do all sprinklers activate at once?
No, in most cases, only the sprinkler(s) closest to the fire are activated. Each sprinkler head is individually activated by heat, so only those directly exposed to the fire’s heat reach the activation temperature and release water.
Can a sprinkler accidentally go off?
Accidental activations of fire sprinklers are rare. Sprinkler heads are designed with a heat-sensitive element that must reach a specific temperature threshold to activate. They are highly reliable and designed to respond to fire heat characteristics, not smoke or minor temperature fluctuations.
Are fire sprinklers required by law?
Fire sprinkler requirements vary by jurisdiction, building type, and occupancy. Some buildings, such as high-rises, commercial buildings, and healthcare facilities, often have mandatory sprinkler installation requirements. It is important to consult local building codes and regulations to determine specific requirements for your area.
How many fire sprinklers are needed in a building?
The number of fire sprinklers needed in a building depends on several factors, including the building size, occupancy, and fire risk. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides guidelines for determining the minimum number of sprinklers needed for different building types and occupancies.
Are fire sprinklers expensive to install?
The cost of installing fire sprinklers depends on several factors, including the building size, occupancy, and fire risk. While initial installation costs may be higher than other fire protection systems, fire sprinklers can provide long-term cost savings by reducing property damage and potentially lowering insurance premiums.
Can fire sprinklers be turned off once activated?
Fire sprinklers are activated individually based on heat detection, and once activated, they cannot be turned off manually. However, once the fire is under control or extinguished, the water flow can be stopped by closing the main valve of the sprinkler system.
