The type of suppression or detection system is typically dictated by a number of factors including, but not limited to, type of occupancy, hazard classification, ambient temperature, corrosive atmospheres, potential for accidental damage, etc.

Approval from and liaison with all stakeholders and authorities involved in any project is also considered a pre-requisite by JCK Fire Engineers & Consultants for the selection of any type of fire protection or detection.

There are a number of different types of automatic sprinkler systems available which are suitable for a variety of building types and occupancy.

In addition to selection, specification, conceptual design and budget costing of fire suppression and detection systems, JCK Fire Engineers & Consultants also offer downstream services including tender analysis, assistance with selection of approved contractors, review of contractors detailed design, testing and commissioning, etc.
