Suppression design for distribution and industrial facilities, where commodity and storage height drive some of the most demanding requirements in the code.
4 systems we design5 codes & standardsRepresentative project
Overview
Distribution and industrial facilities present some of the most challenging suppression design in the code, where commodity classification and storage height set the entire design basis.
ESFR versus in-rack strategy, flammable-liquid and process hazards, and large undivided areas all drive water-supply demand and system selection.
Key considerations
High-piled and rack storage protection strategy. Commodity classification as the design basis. ESFR vs. in-rack sprinkler design. Flammable and combustible liquids and process hazards. Large undivided areas and water-supply demand.
