Special Hazard System Design
We design and review special hazard fire suppression systems for facilities requiring precise, performance-driven protection beyond standard sprinkler applications.
Our expertise covers:
- Foam systems
- CO₂ systems, and
- clean agent systems (FM-200, Novec 1230, and inert gas IG systems)
We ensure each solution meets NFPA, FM Global, and UAE Civil Defense requirements.
Foam Systems (Low and High Expansion)
We design low-expansion and high-expansion foam systems for flammable liquid and hydrocarbon hazards in fuel storage areas, aircraft hangars, loading racks, process units, and tank farms. Our scope includes:
Foam chamber, proportioner, and bladder tank sizing
AR-AFFF, AFFF, and fluorine-free foam selection
Hydraulic calculations for foam-water deluge and foam-water sprinkler systems
Expansion rate validation, drainage, and containment design
NFPA 11, 16, and 30 compliance documentation
We support every stage of project development—from concept design, hydraulic analysis, and cause-and-effect matrix development, to CFD plume visualization, AHJ submission packages, and commissioning support.
Each system we deliver or review is engineered for safety, reliability, and maintainability, ensuring your special hazard protection systems perform as intended under the most demanding conditions.
CO₂ Systems
We design carbon dioxide total flooding and local application systems for industrial hazards where rapid flame knockdown and minimal residue are critical, such as electrical equipment, turbines, and engine rooms. Our services include:
Agent quantity and nozzle distribution calculations per NFPA 12
Enclosure integrity evaluation and venting design
Safety control logic, time delays, and personnel warning systems
Detection and release system coordination with fire alarm panels
Clean Agent Systems (FM-200, Novec 1230, Inert Gas IG Systems)
We provide clean agent suppression system design and review for data centers, control rooms, archives, and mission-critical environments requiring zero-residue protection. Our work includes:
Agent concentration, flow, and hold-time calculations per NFPA 2001
Cylinder storage configuration and nozzle layout optimization
3D discharge modeling, including multi-zone and modular system analysis
Coordination with HVAC shutdown and pressure venting systems
Verification of human safety exposure limits (NOAEL/LOAEL compliance)
