Trade discipline

FIELD-READY FIRE PROTECTION SHOP DRAWINGS. SEE THE WORK.

What we provide

Coordinated fire protection shop drawings — sprinkler and standpipe — plus the hydraulic calculations to back them.

We model the system, coordinate heads, mains, and branch lines against every other trade, and run the hydraulic calcs so the design holds up at submittal and in the field. One team for the drawings and the numbers.

Deliverables

What you get

Coordinated sprinkler/standpipe layout — mains, branch lines, head locations

Hydraulic calculations (NFPA-based) with the supporting nodes and demand

Sections and coordination at congested areas

Submittal- and fabrication-ready package on VDClab templates

Heads moved off diffusers, pipe routed between ducts and walls, auxiliary drains where routing traps water — all flagged on the drawings.

How we work to spec

Standards & technical scope

NFPA 13 and NFPA 14

Sprinkler and standpipe layouts drawn to the edition the authority having jurisdiction enforces.

Hazard classification

The classification the design is based on, stated on the drawings.

Hydraulic calculations

Calculations that back the layout at submittal, run against the water supply data for the site.

K-factors and head layout

Head selection and spacing coordinated with ceiling, duct and structure.
