DesignFire is a company
dedicated to producing comprehensive design packages for fire protection
systems. With experience in sprinkler, detection, special hazards and much
more, in industrial, commercial and offshore industries.
DesignFire comprises a team of highly motivated and dynamic professionals
whose depth experience are a valuable asset to the company and our
clients.
We produce design and
documentation packages with all of the necessary information to assess,
purchase, install and commission any type of fire protection system.
From simple design
brief to detailed drawings for construction we offer expertise in the
following areas.
- Fire Sprinkler
systems
- Fire Detection
Systems
- Fire Hydrant and Hose
reels
- Fire water pumps
- Gaseous extinguishing systems.
- Emergency
Warning and Intercommunication systems.
- Gas detection systems
- Site inspection & reporting
- Contract management
- Fire Engineering & BCA engineered solutions.
This is a very brief of our capabilities. It is perhaps better displayed
by referring to our many projects completed.
Some more detail:
Fire Sprinkler Systems
DesignFire can provide Fire Sprinkler System design to Australian and
international standards. We analysis each project on its merits, and provide
a economical design using the latest technology and best practices
available.
With the developments in computer based full hydraulic design packages, the
piping network can become complex, and yet providing the best solution for
the project. We prepare our design drawings using CAD drawings, detailing
such things as Equipment Schedules, Valve schematics & pipe hanger
assemblies, giving a clear picture of the proposed system design.
System design and verification
Full Hydraulic Calculations
Detailed Design drawings
Material Take Off Sheets
Fittings Bill of Materials
We can provide Fire Sprinkler System designs based on many years of
experience, using the best equipment available in the world, for your
particular project.
Fire Detection Systems
With the modern technologies available today we can easily detect the early
symptoms of a fire. We can sense the sudden rise in temperature within a
room or scan for the infra red radiation from a distant flame. We can
process the many different forms of detection and produce the much needed
warning to protect life, plant and property.
Designing the correct solution can be as easy as placing a light fitting.
Knowing how to integrate this thinking into a much larger picture takes much
more careful thought and sometimes innovative engineering.
Getting the balance right. We would not wish to connect our light fitting
solely to a large power station. Likewise we need to ensure the fire
detection system is designed to protect life and property without costing
the earth.
Water & Foam Deluge Systems
Sprinklers are the simplest form of fire protection but some risks demand a
different solution. Water Deluge Systems provide total risk protection, for
example
Road and Rail Tunnels
LPG Vessels (Bullets / Spheres)
Transformers & Turbine Protection
Cooling Towers
We provide design to suit relevant standards, best. The piping network is
hydraulically balanced and calculated utilising the latest computer based
hydraulic calculations programs, and many years of experience to determine
the most efficient, functional & cost effective piping designs for each
project.
The Deluge System design encompasses such things as
Response time
Designed correctly (functionality & operational)
Future Maintenance
Analysis techniques include:
Risk analysis
Nozzle type and placement
Detection and activation methodology
Maintenance Planning
Gas Detection
In situations where there are materials which may be the very cause of a
serious fire or even and explosion, we need to limit this possibility by
detecting a build up of flammable gas.
Toxic gas is also a problem in many process plants. Personnel may be subject
to the risk of asphyxiation, poisons or contaminants.
There are standards or codes dictating how to put together the best means of
gas early warning systems. Although not comprehensive, we need to
incorporate into our design the following elements:
Materials and its behavior depending on;
Locations, whether collective or source
Temperature of material
Ambient temperature
Possibility of leak or spillage
Location of ignition source
Personnel access
Experience and risk analysis provide some means of producing a design. The
customer understands the process systems best. A combination of this
thinking is the common sense approach.
DesignFire know how to make good use of all of these principles to engineer
the best solution.
Emergency Warning and Intercommunication Systems
Early detection of a fire is of no use if personnel are not alerted
promptly. Using multiple speakers or audible alarms are the best way to
evacuate a fire risk area.
Australian and international standards dictate the required sound levels
required to warn building occupants. Careful consideration to the building
materials, furnishings and obstructions make sure that these minimum
standards are achieved.
During emergency situations a communication system dedicated for the fire
and rescue teams is invaluable when fighting fire, evacuating personnel or
providing early warning. DesignFire integrate all of these systems to
provide a cost effective solution.
Gas Extinguishing Systems.
DesignFire provide detailed design packages for all Gaseous Fire Detection
and Suppression Systems. Our personnel have been extensively trained and
have the technical expertise to provide the best system to meet the risk
requirements whether its:
FM 200
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Argonite
Inergen
Novec and Saphire
The detection and actuating systems integrate into the overall system
ensuring 24 hour availability and automatic release upon demand.
As part of our design package, we supply full computer based system
calculations, detailed drawings of piping, hangers, equipment schedules and
overall system schematics. Not forgetting the necessary operators and
maintenance documentation.
Site Monitoring Systems
Multiple systems located in one plant or site introduce unique problems when
it comes to managing a fire condition or emergency event. Conventional fire
alarm systems are not designed to supervise such diverse requirements.
Site plans on a computer screen showing building locations and alarm
locations make the systems easy to use and reduce delays in responding to an
emergency. Using dedicated telephone lines, optical fibres or even radio
transmitters we place high speed low power monitoring devices at individual
alarm systems. Multiple signals can then be multiplexed to the central
control system.
This type of system demands expertise in computing systems, telephone, fire
detection, radio and multiplexing techniques.
DesignFire have the skills to address these issues.
Drawing office
With a fully equipped CAD drafting office we have the ability to produce
multiple discipline detailed design drawings. In accordance with Australian
drafting standards AS 1100.
With more and more projects requiring electronic data we have all necessary
facilities to meet with all client requirements whether in printed or
electronic form.
