Sprinkler fire system

Automatic fire sprinkler systems are widely regarded as the most effective method of controlling fires caused by a broad range of hazards. Sprinkler fire systems work by using a water supply system that provides adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, to which sprinkler heads are connected. The sprinkler heads are installed in ceilings or side walls, and are designed to operate individually when exposed to heat.

Sprinkler systems can automatically detect a fire, transmit an alarm and control the fire. This can be the difference between a minor accident and a major business shutdown. Led by professional project managers, Gielle’s engineers design, install and commission reliable, cost-effective sprinkler systems by carefully analysing your buildings and facilities in terms of occupancy, operation and fire risk.

Wet pipe sprinkler systems

In this system, the water is constantly filled in the piping network and is ready to be discharged when a sprinkler head operates. These systems are suitable for buildings where the ambient temperature is above freezing.

Dry pipe sprinkler systems

The water is held behind a dry pipe valve, and the piping network is filled with pressurized air or nitrogen. These systems are suitable for buildings where the ambient temperature is below freezing, such as unheated warehouses or parking garages.

Pre-action sprinkler systems

The dry pipe valve is controlled by a separate detection system, such as smoke or heat detectors. These systems are suitable for buildings where accidental water discharge could cause damage, such as museums, libraries, or data centers.
