Fire Sprinkler Systems Designed Around Your Property

A properly designed fire sprinkler system starts with understanding the building, its use, and the conditions that influence fire protection requirements.

Chung Wah Plumbing & Fire Protection provides fire sprinkler system design and engineering services for residential and commercial properties. Our approach considers the characteristics of the building and the proposed sprinkler system to develop a practical fire protection solution.

From system planning and sprinkler selection to engineering documentation and plan submission, we help move fire sprinkler projects from design through the approval process.

Design Starts With the Building

Occupancy & Building Use

The use and occupancy of a building are important considerations when developing an appropriate fire sprinkler system.

Building Construction

Construction type and the overall size of the structure can influence fire protection system design.

Ceiling Height & Layout

Ceiling height and the arrangement of protected spaces are important considerations when planning sprinkler coverage.

Sprinkler Selection

Sprinkler type and K-factor are among the system characteristics considered during fire protection assessment and design.

System Pressure

Available and maximum system pressure are relevant factors when evaluating fire sprinkler system requirements.

Fire & Fuel Load Considerations

Potential and actual fuel loads are among the factors that may be considered when assessing fire protection requirements.
