Data centers
Fire alarm and early warning design for data centers.
Aspirating smoke detection, fire alarm and releasing controls, pre-action sprinkler design, and Revit models at any level of development, delivered under your title block.
What we design
Early warning, alarm, release and sprinkler, from one design team.
Detection in a data hall is coordinated with the airflow, the release sequence and the mechanical design, and the drawings, calculations and model all come from the same designers. Read more in our VESDA and aspirating smoke detection service and BIM modeling and coordination service.
- Aspirating smoke detection: White space, underfloor plenums, in-cabinet sampling and support areas, with calculated pipe networks and transport times.
- Fire alarm and releasing controls: Electrical, UPS and battery rooms, mechanical and support spaces, and offices, with risers, calculations and sequence of operations.
- Detection and release for clean agent systems: Release circuits, detection, control panels and sequence of operations. Clean agent engineering is coordinated with your suppression designer.
- Pre-action sprinkler design: Hydraulic calculations, drawings and head schedules.
- BIM modeling at LOD 100–500: Revit models built from our own designs, with clash detection.
- Submittals and support: AHJ submittal management, PE seal support and BOM takeoffs.

Contractors
For electrical and fire alarm contractors
More large projects now ask for a coordinated model of the fire alarm. We build it from our own design, so you don't have to.
How we quote data center work
Scoped from the drawings, the systems and the model requirements.
The more of this we have, the tighter the scope: architectural floor plans and reflected ceiling plans, the mechanical airflow and containment drawings, the owner's fire protection standard or specification, the list of systems involved, the project schedule and AHJ, and, if a model is required, the BIM Execution Plan and the level of development needed at each milestone.
