The designs of fire suppression systems are driven by several factors, such as new and ever-changing fire codes, construction types, insurance requirements and reduction in liability risk. The most compelling reason is the need to protect human lives and property. Balancing the cost of these essential life safety systems, along with the need to control overall construction budgets, requires a broad depth of experience. At BSG-MJA, fire protection systems are only one of many mechanical systems we design. We not only understand the mechanics, but also possess the intimate knowledge of building codes and cost-saving design alternatives afforded by sprinkler system installations.
