Fire Protection Design

Bassett provides a detailed and coordinated approach to high-quality fire protection design and documentation to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Our personnel have broad and diverse experience in fire protection in all aspects of local and international regulatory compliance including insurance requirements such as FM Global and GE Gap Service.  All fire protection system designs are developed in conjunction with performance based fire engineering principles.

Our performance-based designs are coordinated and deliver the most applicable solution to meet the specific project needs including:

• Meeting regulatory and insurance requirements.
• Addressing other client objectives such as property protection, business continuity, sustainable design, etc.
• Cost effective design including life cycle costs. 

We prepare the tender documentation, drawings and specification, for the following fire systems:

Automatic sprinklers	Specialist gas suppression
Hydrants	Water supply deluge
Hose reels	Dry pipe pre-action
Fire Detection	Foam suppression systems

In addition to full documentation, Bassett’s expertise extends to all aspects of fire protection design including:

• Due diligence and pre-purchase inspections.
• Reverse engineering of existing fire systems.
• Water supply analysis utilising ‘Hyena’ hydraulic program to establish design criteria benchmarks
• Liaison with fire and regulatory authorities.
• Design and construct contracts.
• New construction or modification of existing systems.
• Performance-based enhancements.
• Design reviews, third party inspections and verifications.
• Fire safety audits.
• Fire protection maintenance and management advice.

Our approach results in a higher level of detail throughout the documentation process. There is less room for misinterpretation and variation as the project progresses. A higher level of service by us allows our clients to focus on their area of specialty.
