Fire Protection Solutions

Water Network Systems

Safety First Egypt provide internal fire hydrants and sprinklers as part of their fire protection. We offer fire hydrant installations, System design, installation and commissioning. We are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate fire protection design requirements are included in the building. Its also part of the building design requirements administered by the responsible local government.

  • Larger diameter water mains may assist in fire systems achieving requirements without supplementary measures.
  • An existing building will require to be re-assessed against current water delivery, which now could have reduced flows and pressures.
  • Information provided at the planning phase will assist design reticulation design that may alleviate later costs being borne by individual building

Sprinkler Systems

Deluge System

Deluge system is usually used when large quantities of water needed quickly to control a fast fire. Those valves can be electrically or hydraulically operated. Deluge fire sprinkler system is same as wet or dry pipe system but with 2 differences:

  • Sprinklers are all open. Activating elements are removed so when the control valve is opened water will flow from all of the sprinklers and deluge the area with water simultaneously.
  • Deluge valve is normally closed and valve opened when activated by separate fire detection system.

Closed System

This system is similar to deluge system but has more safety mechanisms in place to prevent water from accidental activation like museums, data-centers, etc… . Unlike the dry pipe system, water in pre-action systems is held back by an electronic pre-action valve that is activated by an independent fire detection system, not by the sprinkler heads. The piping is often filled with pressurized air. In this type of systems, Water will not discharge from the system until the fire generates planned amount of heat to operate sprinklers.

In some systems like double closed system, there are 2 things before water dispatched into pipes:

  • Sprinklers are all open. Activating elements are removed so when the control valve is opened water will flow from all of the sprinklers and deluge the area with water simultaneously.
  • Deluge valve is normally closed and valve opened when activated by separate fire detection system.

If one is activated and not the other, the water will not be released, This adds a double layer of safety against accidental activation and water damage.

Fire Alarm Systems

Conventional vs Addressable

The main difference between conventional and addressable systems is scale. Conventional systems are ideal for small buildings, such as individual offices. They activate individually when they detect smoke or heat, helping everyone escape safely and quickly. Addressable fire alarms are better suited for large buildings and offer more customization options.

Conventional System

The Good:

  • Cheaper Cost
  • Simple setup
  • Compatibility between different brands

The Bad:

  • Can't exactly locate fire
  • Installation may be expensive

Addressable System

The Good:

  • Effective in locating fire
  • Display event logs
  • Control each device sensitivity

The Bad:

  • Expensive
  • Less Compatibility between different brands
  • Complicated setup

Advanced Protection

Fire Suppression Systems

Fire suppression systems are used to prevent fire spread in facilities or buildings. These systems use a combination of dry chemicals or wet agents to suppress fires.

CO2

Provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the oxygen level below combustion level. Since it's unsafe for people, CO2 is only recommended for areas inaccessible by employees or customers.

FM200

FM200 is a waterless fire protection system. It is usually discharged within 10 seconds and suppresses the fire immediately.

Aerosol

It employs a fire extinguishing agent of very fine solid particles. Aerosol particles & gases are generated by exothermic reaction. Aerosol is effective regardless of the place & height of fire, unlike dry chemical systems.

Dry Chemical

This system is usually used in industrial facilities. It uses dry compounds to extinguish fires where water is unavailable. These systems are efficient because they are non-conductive and can be utilized to quell fires involving electrical equipment.

Wet Chemical

This is the most common fire suppression system, specific to cooking fires. The liquid suppressant cools the flame immediately when sprayed. When the liquid contacts oils and fats, it reacts to produce foam, cooling the affected area & preventing fire from reigniting.
