Ontario new construction demands fire sprinkler systems engineered specifically for building characteristics, occupancy classifications, and water supply conditions. Generic designs fail during hydraulic review or create liability exposure when systems cannot deliver adequate water to all coverage areas. Professional engineering begins with calculations that account for pipe friction, elevation changes, and simultaneous sprinkler activation scenarios that determine whether your system will control fires effectively.
WC Fire Protection, Inc. coordinates sprinkler installation with construction schedules to ensure pipes install at appropriate phases without conflicts with other trades. Timing affects installation efficiency and final system quality—installing too early risks pipe damage from other contractors, while delaying installation compresses testing schedules and creates occupancy delays. Effective coordination requires understanding construction sequencing and maintaining communication with general contractors and trade supervisors.
Why Hydraulic Calculations Determine System Effectiveness
Hydraulic calculations establish pipe sizes, pump requirements, and water supply adequacy for every protected area. These calculations determine whether the most hydraulically remote sprinkler receives sufficient pressure and flow when multiple heads activate during fires. Systems designed without proper calculations may satisfy visual inspections but fail catastrophically during actual fire conditions when water demands exceed available supply.
Testing validates design assumptions by measuring actual system performance. Flow tests confirm water supply adequacy, pressure measurements verify calculations, and alarm tests ensure proper notification when systems activate. Documentation from acceptance testing becomes part of building records and demonstrates to insurance underwriters that your system was installed correctly and performs as designed.
