Commercial & Residential Sprinkler Systems

Sprinkler systems represent one of the most effective tools available for life safety and property protection in high rise buildings. Unlike many passive fire protection measures, a sprinkler system reacts directly and automatically to the heat generated by a fire, typically activating within the first two minutes of a fire reaching a critical temperature threshold. Each sprinkler head operates independently, meaning only those in the immediate vicinity of the fire are triggered, dispelling the common misconception that all heads activate simultaneously. This targeted response limits both fire spread and water damage, a particularly important consideration in residential high rise buildings where occupied flats are directly above and below the fire floor. DRFSC designs and installs systems in accordance with BS EN 12845 and the LPC Rules, ensuring that hydraulic calculations, water supply adequacy and component selection are all rigorously validated prior to installation commencing.
