Help and advice from Aquablaze, whatever your profession

Developers

Sprinklers can enhance building design, improve and give your next project an edge

• Use safety benefits as a unique selling point to prospective purchasers

• High specification fire system for luxury bespoke homes

• Trade off Building regulations, develop restricted areas such as attics, where building regulations cannot be met

• Create open plan living space, open up more flexible design layouts with fire engineered solutions

• Make better use of space without restrictive fire corridors or additional escape stairs

• Better use of site space to achieve more square footage and profits 

• Such trade offs may actually save more money than the sprinklers would have cost

We can offer you help, even at the planning stages of your project.

Architects

You should know that sprinklers can open up more design possibilities

• More flexible room layouts, perhaps even open plan design

• What ceiling voids are needed to accommodate pipe work

• How much room will the tank need, where will it be sited

• Will it affect other services

• Develop into attic or otherwise unused space

• Useful in change of use developments when footprint is determined by the existing building but don’t forget the system has to physically fit into the building you are designing!

We can help and offer advise on such issues.

Consulting Engineers

You will need to know what is involved in their design

• How does the system integrate with other M&E systems

• Actual tank size requirements – water volume, tank dimensions

• Utilities – what are the additional requirements

• Compile accurate specifications for tender documents

Reading a Standard is different from interpreting it. This is where our experience counts.

Contractors

You should know how fire sprinklers will affect your installation on site

• Will the installation affect my works programme

• Will the sprinklers affect other non-M&E contractors such as joiners

• Are there issues to be considered at the procurement stages

Appreciating these issues means the installation can be carried out on time and to budget.
