Fire Protection

A Fire Suppression System is a collection of technologies, tools, and systems designed to detect and extinguish fires in the event of their occurrence. This system aims to protect human lives and property from the damages caused by fires.

The main systems of a fire suppression system include:

Alarm System:

The alarm system uses fire detection devices to detect potential fires in the building or surrounding area and issue an audible and visual alarm to warn of the fire’s presence.

  • Fire Alarm System: This system is designed to detect fires in buildings and facilities, notify people inside, take necessary actions to extinguish the fire, and safely evacuate the area. The system consists of a set of devices and equipment that work together to detect fires and issue audible and visual alarms to warn people in the building. The fire alarm system is an important part of any fire suppression system and helps to maintain safety in various facilities.
  • Fire alarm systems consist of several devices and types, including:
    • Fire detection devices: These devices are used to detect potential fires in the building and include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and flame detectors.
    • Alarm devices: These devices are used to issue audible and visual alarms to warn people in the building of a fire. They include sirens and visual alarm devices.
    • Control panel: The control panel processes signals from the detection and alarm devices, issues necessary alarms, and determines the location of the fire.
    • Voice evacuation systems: Voice evacuation systems are used to provide voice guidance to people in the building on how to safely evacuate in case of a fire.

Fire alarm systems vary from building to building and are designed according to global and local requirements and standards. Fire engineers and qualified experts should install fire alarm systems to ensure proper and effective system design and installation. The system should be tested and maintained regularly to ensure that it operates correctly and effectively in case of a fire.

Sprinkler System:

The sprinkler system uses sprinkler heads mounted on the ceiling to spray water or designated chemicals to extinguish the fire on the affected area.
The Fire Suppression System with sprinklers is designed to extinguish fires in buildings and facilities by using water sprinklers mounted on the ceiling. The system works by automatically releasing water when the sprinklers move due to the intense heat generated by the fire. The sprinkler system is designed to limit the spread of the fire and extinguish it quickly before it causes significant damage.

Fire suppression systems with sprinklers consist of essential components, including:

  1. Sprinkler heads:

    Sprinkler heads are installed on the building’s ceiling and spray water on the affected area when they move due to the intense heat generated by the fire.

  2. Main pipes: Main pipes deliver water to the sprinkler heads and distribute water evenly to the affected area.
  3. Control units: Control units operate the sprinkler system when the sprinkler heads move due to the intense heat generated by the fire.
  4. Water tanks: Water tanks provide the necessary water to operate the sprinkler system in case of water supply interruption.
  5. Valves and indicators: Valves and indicators are used to control water flow to the sprinkler heads and indicate the locations of the moving sprinkler heads

Fire sprinkler systems must be designed and installed in accordance with global and local requirements and standards, and the system must be maintained regularly to ensure that it works properly in the event of a fire. Although fire sprinkler systems are effective, they should not be relied on alone, and should be used in conjunction with other fire suppression systems such as alarm systems, foam systems, and extinguishing gases.

Foam System:

The foam system uses a special foam to extinguish fires and reduce their spread.
A foam fire suppression system is designed to extinguish fires in buildings and facilities by using a special foam in addition to water. The system works by spraying the foam onto the area where the fire is located, covering and quickly extinguishing the fire. The foam fire suppression system is typically used in facilities that contain highly flammable or hazardous materials.

Foam fire suppression systems consist of essential components, including:

  1. Foam generators: Foam generators are used to prepare the foam needed for extinguishing the fire and contain special chemicals that mix with water to produce foam.
  2. Spray methods: Spray methods are used to distribute the foam onto the area where the fire is located and include spray heads, lines, and valves.
  3. Control system: The control system controls the flow of foam and determines the time and method of spraying the foam onto the area where the fire is located.
  4. Tanks: Tanks contain water and the chemicals used to produce foam and provide the necessary water to operate the foam fire suppression system.

Foam fire suppression systems must be designed and installed in accordance with global and local requirements and standards, and the system must be maintained regularly to ensure that it works properly in the event of a fire. It is important to train people on how to use the foam fire suppression system properly, and the chemicals used in the generators and tanks should be stored in a safe and appropriate location. Foam fire suppression systems are commonly used in industrial facilities, warehouses, commercial centers, and large buildings.

Gas Suppression System:

The gas suppression system uses a specialized gas to extinguish the fire without causing damage to people or nearby properties.
A gas fire suppression system is designed to extinguish fires in buildings and facilities by using a special extinguishing gas. The system works by releasing the suppressant gas into the area where the fire is located, quickly extinguishing the fire. Gas fire suppression systems are typically used in sensitive or critical facilities such as data centers, computer rooms, laboratories, and others.

Gas fire suppression systems consist of essential components, including:

  1. Gas cylinders: Gas cylinders are used to store the suppressant gas and are connected to pipes leading to the area where the fire needs to be extinguished.
  2. Release system: The release system operates by releasing the suppressant gas into the area where the fire is located, and the amount and timing of the suppressant gas released can be controlled.
  3. Alarm system: The alarm system is used to warn people in the building of a fire and to activate the gas fire suppression system.
  4. Pipes and valves: Pipes and valves are used to deliver the suppressant gas to the area where the fire is located and to control the flow of the suppressant gas.

Gas fire suppression systems must be designed and installed in accordance with global and local requirements and standards, and the system must be maintained regularly to ensure that it works properly in the event of a fire. It is important to train people on how to use the gas fire suppression system properly, and clear signs and labels should be placed to indicate the area covered by the gas fire suppression system.

Fire-Resistant Walls and Doors System:

This system uses walls and doors designed to withstand high temperatures to prevent the spread of fire to other areas.
A fire-resistant walls and doors system is designed to reduce the spread of fires in buildings by using barriers made of materials that can withstand high temperatures and resist fire for a specific period. This system is used in public, commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.

Fire-resistant walls and doors systems consist of fire-resistant materials such as cement, gypsum, steel, tempered glass, and others. Fire-resistant doors are manufactured in a special way that makes them able to withstand high temperatures for a specified period, and they are installed in fire-resistant walls properly.

Fire-resistant walls and doors systems must be designed and installed in accordance with local and international standards and regulations, and they must be tested periodically to ensure that they are working properly. Fire-resistant doors must be installed with special metal frames that help prevent the spread of fire through the gaps between the doors and walls. Clear signs and labels should be placed to indicate fire-resistant walls and doors.

The fire-resistant walls and doors system is an important part of the safety system in buildings and helps protect lives and properties in the event of a fire.

Firefighting systems vary from building to building and are designed according to global and local requirements and standards. These systems are an essential part of any fire-fighting plan and help maintain safety and security in various facilities.
