Fire & Life Safety Engineering
When considering the Triple Bottom Line of Sustainability, we often focus on economic and environmental aspects, yet ignore a crucial social aspect- safety of life and property from fire hazards. That being said, fire & life safety cannot be understood in isolation, but must balance a number of parameters- design innovation, sustainability, and functionality. This is where our experts come in.
As a critical aspect of Building Services, we have several in-house specialists overseeing our fire safety designs. They are certified in several international and local codes, such as the NFPA, FM, LPCB, UAE FLS Code, NBC, etc. It is important to establish which standards are followed by the authority under jurisdiction (AUJ), and the design needs to be developed accordingly.
The team also gets engaged in detailed analyses of the class of fire, heat generated, and smoke patterns. Based on this, an appropriate solution for fire detection and protection is proposed along with smoke management. Being registered members with various Fire departments, we ensure that our robust, customized designs live up to the highest standards of fire safety.
This reputation for customized designs was why Team Consistent was approached by one of the leading distributors after their warehouse caught fire. Due to their outdated fire protection system, it caused a lot of damage to their stored goods. Consistent was tasked with updating their FLS systems to the latest local and international specifications.
Team Consistent worked closely with the appointed Fire Life Safety Specialist, as well as the authorities to upgrade the FLS systems of the Warehouses. Adhering to the regulations of the Dubai Civil Defense, Consistent created a state-of-the-art design by upgrading the emergency systems, sprinkler systems, and ventilation system. In rack sprinklers were provided for better protection of the stored goods. Know more about the specialized design here!
