Life Safety, Smoke Control, and Pressurization Systems
Industrial facilities, hotels, and commercial properties require advanced fire safety measures. A1 Fire Sprinkler Systems Project Consulting Trade Ltd. develops fire suppression systems with internationally approved designs, ensuring comprehensive protection.
Determining Building Usage and Hazard Classifications
The intended use and hazard classification of buildings are critical for fire safety.
- Low Hazard Class: Residential buildings, offices, and small commercial spaces.
- Medium Hazard Class: Shopping malls, hotels, and educational institutions.
- High Hazard Class: Industrial facilities, chemical plants, and oil refineries.
User Load Analysis
The occupancy level of buildings is a critical factor in determining evacuation strategies.
- Maximum occupancy capacity.
- Evacuation time calculations.
- Special evacuation solutions for individuals with disabilities.
Escape Width Calculation
To ensure safe evacuation during a fire, the width of escape routes must be determined.
- Minimum 90 cm for residential buildings.
- Minimum 120 cm for commercial buildings.
- Minimum 150 cm for industrial facilities.
Determining Building Evacuation Strategy
The building evacuation strategy must be developed to determine safe exit routes during a fire.
- Full evacuation: Evacuating all occupants simultaneously.
- Phased evacuation: Prioritizing the evacuation of high-risk areas.
- Directed evacuation: Using emergency announcement systems for guided evacuation.
Escape Distance Control
Escape distances must be determined to ensure safe evacuation during a fire.
- Maximum 30 meters for low hazard class.
- Maximum 45 meters for medium hazard class.
- Maximum 60 meters for high hazard class.
Assessment of Escape and Evacuation Possibilities
Building escape and evacuation possibilities determine the efficiency of the evacuation process.
- Fire escape stairs: Critical for safe evacuation.
- Emergency exit doors: Provide easy access and fast evacuation.
- Evacuation elevators: Offer specialized solutions for individuals with disabilities.
Evaluation of Fire Department Intervention and Building Entry Points
Rapid access for firefighting teams must be ensured during a fire.
- Access routes for fire department vehicles.
- Location of fire water sources.
- Dedicated entry points for firefighting teams.
Emergency Guidance
Emergency guidance systems direct occupants to safe evacuation routes.
- Emergency exit signs.
- Audible guidance systems.
- Evacuation maps.
Emergency Lighting
In case of power outages during a fire, emergency lighting systems must be activated.
- LED emergency lighting.
- Photoluminescent directional signs.
- Automatically triggered lighting systems.
Smoke Control and Pressurization Systems
Smoke control and pressurization systems prevent the spread of smoke during a fire, ensuring safe evacuation.
- Pressurized stairwells: Prevent smoke from entering escape routes.
- Smoke exhaust fans: Remove smoke during a fire.
- Automatic smoke detectors: Ensure early detection of smoke.
