iCO Fire Suppression Systems’ Post

BS 9991:2015 is the British Standard Code of Practice for Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Residential Buildings. It provides guidelines for architects, property designers, and fire safety professionals to ensure adequate fire safety measures are integrated into building designs, including the installation of fire suppression systems. BS 9991:2015 provides a level of flexibility that allows the fire protection measures, and the associated risks, to be assessed to enable reasonable practical solutions to be designed. The guide below has been created to provide a clearer understanding of BS 9991:2015 and the design freedoms that can be achieved within its scope. Included are some examples of projects made possible with the use of fire suppression systems. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eBYFXjAz #FireSuppression #Architects #BuildingControl

While planning drawings focus on the design of your project, the drawings produced for building regulations are far more complex. They factor in things such as structure, fire safety, drainage, moisture resistance, soundproofing, ventilation and more. While planning permission focuses on the use and appearance of a development in the context of its surroundings, building regulation approval is concerned with the technical aspects of construction to ensure the safety and well-being of occupants. Both processes are essential, and typically, a project requires approval from both planning authorities and building control bodies before construction can commence. #architects #architecture #planning #buildingregs #nottinghamarchitects #nottinghamarchitecture #clarkarchitectural

🏗️ Our latest guide is here to enhance compatibility of test evidence for building components within larger systems! 🌟 We’re tackling the challenge of isolated design practices by promoting a holistic approach and early collaboration with manufacturers and contractors. This aligns perfectly with the RIBA Plan of Work and the Building Safety Act for higher-risk buildings. 🔍 Key Highlights: The importance of 'firewalls' 🔥 Updated guidance on maintaining compartment lines Insights on supporting imposed loads Relevant standards for further reading 📚 Find out more and access the guide here: #ConstructionSafety #BuildingStandards #FireSafety #RIBAPlanOfWork #BuildingSafetyAct

This guide represents a HUGE collaborative effort within and beyond our community and starts to look at the challenges in bringing products together as systems within buildings. It is a must read for anyone involved in the specification and design development of wall systems and the products that come together to form these vital compartments (including doors, raised access floors, glazed partitions, access panels etc).

The result of two years work by a dedicated group of industry experts, it outlines the importance of compatible compliant evidence when designing ‘Fire Walls’ It’s important for anyone specifying suppling and constructing Drylining.
