1. What is fire protection construction?
Executing the construction of fire protection systems (fire protection) includes planning and implementing the installation of fire protection equipment for a specific project. The way fire protection is implemented may vary depending on the specific fire protection system deployed.
However, there is a common point in the construction process of fire protection for all systems, that is, it is always necessary to have detailed design drawings. In this design drawing, will include:
- echnical requirements for each item and system in the building: The drawing will clearly describe the technical parameters for each part of the fire protection system, including equipment used, operability, installation location order and other technical requirements.
- Implementation plan: A drawing that provides a detailed plan of how the construction will be carried out, including the arrangement of equipment, technical installation methods, steps taken during construction, implementation time, and testing and acceptance stages.
- Inspection, acceptance and troubleshooting stages: Drawings provide a plan for quality inspection after installation, carry out the acceptance process to ensure the system works efficiently, and how to handle problems. try when needed.
Usually, based on the size and complexity of the project, choosing a package fire protection contractor is a good choice. This means that the fire protection construction unit will take care of both the design and construction, and may include the process of taking over the fire prevention and fighting system. The detailed reasons for this will be explained in the following sections.
2. The importance of building a fire protection system
If the fire prevention design drawing is a theoretical part, the construction of fire prevention and fighting is an extremely important practice. With the type of system that directly affects the safety of life and property for the works, the construction of fire prevention and fighting is even more demanding and needs to be paid more attention.
The importance of the construction and installation of fire protection is:
-
Ensure that the installation of fire protection equipment is in the right position, in the right technique, in stable and accurate operation when an incident occurs.
-
Construction of fire prevention and fighting in accordance with standards and suitable for the project is the way to minimize the damage to people and property for the works.
-
Standard fire protection construction design increases durability, usage time, convenience for maintenance, maintenance or repair when needed.
-
All works must meet the conditions for fire prevention and fighting construction and have a certificate of acceptance before they are allowed to go into operation.
With such particularly important roles, more than ever, businesses need to choose a unit that has the ability to execute fire protection and fire protection construction certificates in accordance with regulations to ensure the best quality for their customers. his project.
3. Regulations on construction of fire prevention and fighting
Fire protection construction is a service that not any unit can provide or undertake. In addition to the certificate, fire protection construction capacity, fire protection construction permit, that unit needs to ensure that the work meets the following regulations on fire prevention and fighting:
- TCVN7336 -2020: National standards for fire protection
- TCVN5738 – 2021: Standard on automatic fire alarm system – technical requirements
- QCVN 06:2021/BXD: National technical regulation on fire safety for houses and buildings
- TCVN 3890:2021: Standards on means of fire prevention and fighting for houses and buildings – Equip, layout, inspection and maintenance
- TCVN 6379-1998: Standards on Fire fighting equipment – Fire hydrants – Technical requirements
After the construction of fire prevention and fighting works, all works must be checked and accepted from the competent authorities to be licensed to operate. Works that have been built for fire prevention and fighting but have not been accepted and inspected but come into operation when detected will be subject to very heavy fines.
4. Construction process of fire protection system
The process of building a fire protection system to be carried out can vary depending on the type of system and the needs of each specific project. Based on long-term experience in the field of fire prevention and fighting construction, DONG NAM would like to summarize the standard process with the following important steps:
Step 1: Site survey Before starting construction, surveying is an extremely important step. Conduct survey to ensure practicality, determine equipment layout and factor of safety. Design drawings will need to be adjusted to match actual conditions.
Step 2: Make drawings and take over the fire prevention design After the survey, the fire prevention and fighting team participates in commenting and adjusting the drawings to reflect the correct information. The drawing after completion will need to be approved and certified by the State agency before proceeding with construction.
Step 3: Choose a contractor to construct the fire protection system The investor has two options: hire a separate design and construction team, or choose a package contractor. Your choice depends on your needs and capabilities.
Step 4: Prepare construction materials for fire prevention and fighting Before construction, choosing quality and suitable materials is extremely important. Ensure compatibility between types of equipment and supplies to avoid conflicts and ensure stable operation.
Step 5: Install the complete system The construction team installs the system according to the adjusted and approved drawings. The selection of reputable and experienced contractors will ensure the quality of construction.
Step 6: Acceptance, test operation of the system After completing the installation, the system should be checked and tested to ensure that all elements operate correctly and stably.
Step 7: Appraisal of fire prevention and fighting fire prevention and fighting construction not only stops at completing the system but also needs to be approved by a professional agency to ensure compliance with standards and regulations of the State.
5. Norms for construction of fire prevention and fighting
The norms of fire protection installation must be based on the requirements and use purposes from the actual work to be able to make an accurate estimate. The cost of fire protection construction is calculated based on: installation area, cost of equipment to be installed in the system, installation terrain, system size. In addition, the cost of construction of fire protection systems may vary from province to province.
In general, in order to have an accurate estimate, the construction team needs to be based on the design drawings, along with the actual survey process. From there, the fire protection installation company will discuss and advise customers to choose specific types of equipment, materials and construction techniques to give a final complete price list.
Please note that you should choose reputable and experienced units to finalize the price list before proceeding with the installation. This helps you avoid costs incurred outside the contract that can cause the project to be overpriced.
