Fire System Design In South Africa
Having a correctly designed and functioning fire-fighting installation is essential for buildings, factories, and tank farms to maintain safety of people and assets. It is also a legal requirement that fire protection systems comply with the relevant national standards to ensure safety. Companies often operate outdated and poorly maintained fire protection systems. This puts the business at significant risk.
Fire-fighting systems of buildings need to be designed and approved by a professionally registered engineer in accordance with the South African National Standard (SANS) 10400 which governs the fire protection of the national building regulations. Fire-fighting systems for storage tanks are designed in accordance with the appropriate SANS code for the product being stored. For example, fire-fighting systems for tanks storing petroleum products are governed by SANS 10089-1. The fire-fighting system for a storage tank must be approved by a professionally registered engineer.
