Customized sprinkler systems for every building project
At Accurate Fire Protection, our in-house engineers work directly with architects, contractors, interior designers, and building owners to design customized sprinkler systems that fit the needs of your space and meet regulatory safety requirements.
For new building construction, the process is pretty simple. We start by bidding the project, then supply a cost estimate, draft a design, order materials, install the system on-site, test the system and "turn over" the building to the owners/operators for use once the sprinkler system is proven to be fully operational and has met all NFPA code requirements. Our team of licensed journeymen regularly meet with general contractors and other building trades to coordinate the layout of the sprinkler system, duct work, electrical and plumbing to ensure each job stays on track and within budget.
Add a sprinkler system to your existing structure.
MAKING OLD PROPERTIES new: retro-fit sprinkler systems
Accurate Fire Protection has extensive experience retro-fitting, or adding, automatic sprinkler systems to existing structures, even qualified historic buildings. While ensuring all NFPA codes are met, our professional sprinkler fitters are careful to maintain the integrity of each existing structure.
types of fire sprinkler systems
wet sprinkler system
A wet system is the most common type of sprinkler system in which the pipes are always filled with water, ready to release water the instant a fire is detected. Wet systems are reliable and cost effective, but should should only be used in locations where freezing temperatures won’t be an issue.
dry sprinkler system
In a dry system, the pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen. In the event of a fire, the system is triggered, releasing the air and allowing water to flow through the pipes. These systems are often used in locations that are exposed to freezing temperatures.
deluge sprinkler system
In a deluge system, all the sprinkler heads are open and pipes are dry until the system is activated. Once triggered, a valve opens and releases large volumes of water through all heads. These systems are ideal for areas that present a high risk of a rapidly spreading fire.
antifreeze sprinkler system
In an antifreeze system, the pipes are filled with a mixture of water and anitfreeze. When triggered by a fire, the water/antifreeze mixture is immediately released. These systems work best in smaller areas that may be at risk of freezing.
pre-action sprinkler system
There are a few different types of pre-action systems, but in all of them, the pipes are dry and an extra step is required to release water. A fire detection system must be activated and a sprinkler head must open to allow water to flow. Since these systems help avoid accidental activation, they are usually installed in areas where water damage could be costly.
