Meeting the increasing demands of building services engineers for specialised tools in fire designs

Author: Stephen Wright

Over-engineering in traditional approaches frequently results in hydraulic design software material and resource waste, while worst-case scenarios, such as a waterhammer event and the resulting water surge, do not account for everything. There are also operational costs to consider. Building service engineers now have access to more standards, specialisations, and tools than ever before. Engineers are constantly under pressure to create the most effective, efficient, and accurate solution possible, which is best determined through modeling. Building services software gives them the tools they need to accurately prepare a fire hydrant and hydraulics installation in a building.
