Fire Protection Design Services in the Philippines

Fire protection design is the engineering of a building’s life-safety systems: automatic sprinklers, standpipes, fire pumps, portable extinguishers, and specialized suppression. 828 Engineering Services designs fire protection systems compliant with NFPA standards and the Philippine Fire Code (RA 9514), coordinated with fire alarm and detection design.

Scope of Services

  • Automatic sprinkler system design
  • Fire pump systems
  • Hose cabinets and standpipe systems
  • Portable fire extinguisher layout and specification
  • Kitchen fire suppression system coordination
  • Fire alarm and detection coordination (with electrical design)
  • Hydraulic calculations for fire systems
  • Code compliance review and permit documentation

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are sprinklers required for my building in the Philippines?

Sprinkler requirements depend on occupancy type, building height, and floor area under the Philippine Fire Code (RA 9514) and its IRR. We review your building parameters and confirm exactly which systems the code requires before design begins.

Do you design kitchen fire suppression systems?

We coordinate kitchen hood suppression (wet chemical) systems with the kitchen equipment layout and exhaust design — a critical scope item for restaurants and commercial kitchens.

What is the difference between a standpipe and a sprinkler system?

A sprinkler system automatically discharges water over a fire; a standpipe system provides hose connections for firefighters at each floor. Most mid-rise and high-rise buildings in the Philippines require both, fed by a fire pump.

Do you handle fire permit documentation?

Yes. Our fire protection packages include the drawings, calculations, and specifications required for Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance (FSEC) and building permit applications.
