Hydraulic Calculations
Getting the hydraulic calculations right is critical. The last thing you want is incorrect flows and pressures.
With a working knowledge of the current NFPA standards, codes, and specialty sprinklers (i.e., CMSA and ESFR applications), we will make sure to design your sprinkler system for you to make fast and easy installations.
Standpipe Layout
When your fire protection project requires standpipes for firefighting purposes, we can provide you with standpipe layouts that will supply water to fire sprinkler systems and the standpipe systems.
Standpipe Calculations
When a fire occurs, firefighters need access to standpipes with a sufficient flow of water at a particular pressure for an extended time.
Your F2M standpipe calculations will make your contractor joyous knowing their standpipes have the water flow, pressure, and duration needed to handle the job.
Fire Sprinkler Seismic Design
You want to tell your contractor that, in the event of an earthquake, the fire sprinkler system you’ve installed has been designed according to the latest fire codes for the highest level of fire protection during and after an earthquake.
Fire Sprinkler Seismic Calculations and Analysis
F2M will calculate the seismic load a fire sprinkler system will experience during an earthquake. Fire sprinkler designs account for the force your fire sprinkler system may experience shaking back and forth during an earthquake. With our calculations, your fire protection system will be fully equipped for extreme events.
Fire Pump/Valve Room Layout
Dedicated to making your life easier, we will create coordinated drawings of the valve/pump room based upon the room structure, size, and other trades. We will resolve conflicts with other MEP trades before, during, and after installation.
