Fire-services design strategy
Definition of system objectives, design criteria, hazards, water supplies and interfaces with the wider life-safety approach.
Start a conversationFire Engineering
Coordinated life-safety engineering for complex buildings.
We develop and review fire-protection, detection and smoke-control strategies around risk, occupancy and applicable requirements.
Our fire engineering services
Built for real-world performance.
Emplan works with clients, architects, authorities and project teams to coordinate active fire systems with the building layout, evacuation approach and operational needs. Our consultancy supports clear design intent from early strategy through installation, testing and handover.
Code and standards coordination
Review against applicable local requirements and agreed standards such as NFPA and BS EN.
Sprinkler and suppression systems
Hydraulic design criteria and coordinated layouts for sprinkler, wet-riser, hose-reel and specialist suppression systems.
Fire detection and alarm
Detection, notification, zoning, monitoring and interface design suited to the building use and risk profile.
Smoke-control engineering
Mechanical smoke extract, pressurisation and control interfaces coordinated with architecture and HVAC systems.
Fire-water infrastructure
Storage, pumping, distribution, redundancy and test arrangements developed for dependable emergency operation.
Cause-and-effect coordination
