Early Involvement in Design Phase
In new constructions, we are involved early in the design phase. This allows us to collaborate with architects and engineers to integrate the sprinkler system seamlessly with the building's design.
Flexibility in System Design
New constructions offer more flexibility in system design. We can choose optimal locations for pipes and sprinkler heads without the constraints of existing structures.
Integration with Other Building Systems
In new constructions, the sprinkler system can be more easily coordinated with other building systems such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing, leading to a more efficient installation process
Integration with Existing Infrastructure
Careful planning is required to integrate the new system with the building's existing structural and architectural features. This includes determining how to run new piping, where to place sprinkler heads, and how to connect to the existing water supply.
Implementation of Latest Technologies
New constructions allow for the implementation of the latest fire suppression technologies and innovations, which might not be compatible with older buildings.
Consideration of Future Modifications
While designing systems for new constructions, there's an opportunity to plan for future expansions or modifications in the building.
Compliance
Compliance with fire codes and regulations is often simpler in new constructions, as the system is designed from the ground up to meet current standards.
Testing and Inspection Integration
Testing and inspections can be more thoroughly integrated into the construction schedule, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly.
Coordination with Construction Schedule
We closely coordinate with the overall construction schedule to ensure their work aligns with the progress of other trades.
Safety Considerations
Safety measures for construction workers, which differ from those for occupants in existing buildings, must be taken into account during installation.
