Fire CFD For Rightly Sized Sprinkler Design

Whether you need to design the basement car park or hotel guest room sprinkler network, Fire CFD will reveal the performance of proposed designed upfront. This strategy will save on cost since these sprinkler networks usually rely on very priced pumping systems. Our CFD performance based design ensures the pumps are not oversized, thus greatly reducing procurement costs.

Fire CFD For Building WIth Atrium

High rise buildings with Atriums are extremely difficult to manage when it comes to fire protection, owing to the large spaces. Imagine having to install gigantic fans just to ensure smoke extraction (in the event of a fire) in the Atrium area. The right-sizing of these smoke extraction equipment is key to cost savings. Our Fire CFD approach will determine which design is both efficient and cost effective.

Fire CFD For Design of Systems For Effective Floor Evacuation 

Human and fire or smoke interaction during a fire event can complicate the safe evacuation process. Though proper training of fire marshalls to help guide the evacuation process can significantly reduce injuries or death, some situations are so complex that a properly designed floor evacuation system is indispensable. Fire CFD is the go to solution.

November 2025 - SERVER ROOM - In this month we focus on Server Room cooling CFD. The importance of this HVAC problem cannot be overemphasized. The server room contains critical data for businesses and even government agencies. The loss of any part of the server system can be very detrimental. In the video below we observe how CFD simulation can assist designers ensure proper cooling of your server room . Talk to us to help you properly design your server room cooling system through our performance based (computational modelling) approach.

We are known to serve various International players. These are some of the services our partners have enjoyed:

  • Dormans Coffee (International Coffee Brand)  - as fire suppression systems contractors, we installed their Fire Hydrants System.

  • Hyatt Regency (International Hospitality Brand) - as fire suppression systems contractors and consultants, we designed and installed their fire sprinkler zone control valve units (non-return valve, butterfly valve flow and tamper switches). In addition we are the commissioning Engineers for their Fire Life Safety Systems including Integration of Fire Alarm Panel (See T&C Video).

  •  IBERAFRICA (International Thermal Energy Suppliers) - as fire safety and alarm systems contractors, we installed their repaired rotameter and multistage Jockey pump. We also installed their new impeller for the centrifugal electric fire pump. We also conduct annual churn test for them.​

  • Trade Development Bank (TDB - International Banking Brand) - as Fire safety and protection consultants, we performed computational modeling of fire and smoke travel. With the results obtained, we designed and sized their Atrium Smoke extraction system for safe evacuation within tenable conditions.

 

Our Fire Life Safety Engineering services for design, procurement and installation and Testing & Commissioning (T&C), cover these and more:

​

  • Fire / Smoke detection systems 

  • ​

  • Water based fire suppression (sprinklers/hose reel/hydrant) 

  • ​

  • Special suppression (Gaseous, FM200 for server/Foam/Water spray)

  • Smoke control (Staircase & Lift pressurisation / Atrium smoke extract)

  • Fire Alarm Panel Interfacing and Integration (Cause & Effect Fire Matrix Expert) - we specialise in Honeywell (Notifier) and Edwards systems

  • Fire stopping of services penetration

  • Means of Egress
