Competent system Design is key to the satisfactory protection of Life and Property from Fire. Time invested on the Design of a Fire Detection and Alarm System will ensure that;

• The ignition of a Fire is detected early, thus reducing exposure to risk, and

• The likelihood of unwanted alarms is minimised.

It is estimated that an average of 475000 unwanted alarms occur each year through poorly designed and maintained Fire Detection and Alarm Systems.

Swithland’s Accreditation to BAFE SP203 for design ensures that the comprehensive system design not only meets the needs of the client but also complies with current Codes of Practice and Industry Standards.

Swithland provides a “Bespoke ” Design service encompassing all elements needed to promote a Fire Detection and Alarm System that is “Fit for Purpose” and includes;

• Site Inspections

• Review of Building plans and proposed layouts

• The Building use

• Identifying particular Risk areas and specific Hazards

• Attention to the Building fabric and architecture

Fire Detection and Alarm Systems are categorised to give varying levels of automatic Detection throughout the premises and our Design Engineers can tailor the system design to suit both the level you require and comply with the Code of Practice. If the level of Detection has already been specified then our Design Engineers will provide a system design in accordance with that specification.

A correctly designed & engineered system will ensure a greater protection from the risk of fire, whilst reducing unwanted alarms and ensuring compliance with RRFO & Building Regulations.
