Automatic fire sprinklers provide an important level of protection to a building structure, the occupants and the environment by minimising the effects of a major fire.
Sprinklers conserve water during fire fighting efforts and safeguard against the loss of building contents whilst providing protection against lost continuity of business operations.
Sprinkler systems can be integrated into other systems such as automatic heat and smoke detectors, smoke control and air-handling systems as well as emergency warning and intercommunication systems.
To maximise protection and offer the most efficient fire protection system, we must consider the interaction of the sprinkler system with other building fire safety systems.
