Commercial Sprinkler Systems
Sprinkler systems to EN 12845 are designed to extinguish, or at least control, fires in the early stages of development. In essence a sprinkler system is a network of pipes fed by a water supply via a set of control valves. Sprinkler heads are fitted at specific locations throughout the building and these temperature-operated devices discharge water onto fires in specially designed spray patters. The systems are fitted with alarms, visual and audible, which will be triggered when there is a flow of water in the pipework.
For sprinklers to operate successfully the systems need to be designed, installed and maintained to a high standard. The systems may not be required to operate for many years, but always need to be ready to do so.
