Service scope

Fire protection starts with the right design

We assess existing systems and plan prevention, detection, suppression and evacuation solutions based on occupancy, risks and applicable requirements.

Inspections and technical assessment

Survey of installed systems, identification of visible gaps and organization of priorities for upgrades and maintenance.

Design and documentation

Development or update of technical fire-protection documentation, considering the building and applicable local requirements.

Detection and alarm

Assessment and specification of control panels, detectors, manual call points and audible/visual alarms according to risk and site layout.

Suppression and firefighting

Solutions may include hydrants, sprinklers, extinguishers and specialized suppression agents, selected after technical assessment of occupancy and protected assets.

Escape routes and emergency systems

Review of emergency lighting and signage, exits and other elements related to wayfinding and safe evacuation.

Electrical protection and maintenance

Review of lightning protection, grounding and surge protection aspects, plus maintenance plans and inspection records for covered systems.

Business outcomes

Greater clarity on risks, priorities and documentation

Each building has its own conditions and requirements. Solutions must be confirmed through technical assessment and applicable local regulations.

Visibility into existing conditions

The survey organizes available information about systems, records, condition and items that require verification.

Prioritized upgrade plan

Recommendations help plan interventions, investment and delivery stages based on identified criticality.

Technical traceability

Agreed records, drawings and reports support maintenance, facilities management and inspection preparation.

Fire protection technologies

From very early detection to automatic suppression

The right system depends on the risk, the contents and the type of operation. These are the technologies we specify in design and supervise on site.

Detection and alarm

Aspirating detection (VESDA)

Continuously draws air through piping and analyzes it in a laser chamber, identifying combustion particles before visible smoke exists.

Very early warning

Addressable panels

Panels that pinpoint the exact source of an alarm, integrating smoke and heat detectors, manual call points and audible signaling.

NBR 17240

AI video detection

Cameras running deep learning algorithms recognize smoke and flame across open areas that point sensors cannot cover.

Large open areas

Suppression

Clean agents

Gases that extinguish by molecular cooling, leaving no residue and causing no damage to servers or electronic panels.

Data center and technical rooms

Water mist

High-pressure mist that cools using a fraction of the water of a conventional sprinkler, reducing flood damage.

Lower water usage

Sprinklers and ESFR

Bulb sprinklers for general use and ESFR for high-ceiling warehouses with racking, where the thermal column demands greater flow.

Logistics and storage

Hydraulic network and escape routes

Hydrants and hose reels

Hydraulic network, fire water reserve, pumps, cabinets and extinguishers sized by the building's risk class.

NBR 13714

Deluge and pre-action

Deluge for high-risk areas; pre-action with double confirmation, eliminating accidental discharge in data rooms, archives and collections.

High risk and double interlock

Emergency lighting and routes

Self-contained units, photoluminescent signage and sizing of escape routes, including exits and fire doors.

NBR 10898

Electrical protection and management

Arc fault detection (AFDD)

Devices that identify arcing in damaged conductors inside walls and cut the circuit before ignition.

Prevention at the source

Lightning and surge protection

Franklin rods or Faraday cage, grounding mesh and surge protective devices in switchboards, diverting the discharge away from the structure.

NBR 5419

Monitoring and digital management

Connected panels with remote alerts and intervention history: pump pressure, faulty detectors and recharge due dates in a single view.

How we work

From assessment to approved report

A fixed sequence, with a responsible engineer and documentation at every stage — that is what makes the timeline predictable.

01

Technical assessment

Site visit, risk survey and verification of what is already installed and what has expired.

02

Design and documentation

Executive design following ABNT standards and the state fire department's regulations, with technical responsibility registered at CREA.

03

Execution and installation

Deployment supervised by a responsible engineer, within agreed work windows so the operation keeps running.

04

Report and approval

Issue of the technical report, support during the fire department inspection and delivery of the complete documentation.
