Healthcare
The number of fire incidents in the sector is relatively high. At the same time, it is characterised by significant complexity and dilemmas with regard to fire protection. No fewer than 30% of institutions are lagging behind in attaining the required certifications. Those with final responsibility want to improve fire safety but have insufficient understanding and grip on the process and the costs involved. Often they see only one solution when there are genuine alternatives which may also improve quality of life. Too many external parties are involved in fire safety and nobody takes overall responsibility. This situation needs to be resolved. We identify the risks, provide advice specific to your situation, optimise implementation and maintain the fire protection systems.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR SECTOR
OUR APPROACH
Fire safety always consists of the right balance between Intervention, Installation and Instruction, with you at the center. We explain step by step what our Installation-process contains.
RISK ASSESSMENT & ACTION PLAN
The first step is to make a risk assessment based on architectural, systems and organisational aspects. Every building has its own risks, which we specify. The report identifies possible solutions in general terms plus an estimate of the cost if required. The solutions are worked out in the action plan, which also describes the implementation in the process or organisation.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN, CALCULATION & ENGINEERING
After approval of the action plan, the design work can begin. The final cost estimate (quotation) is also made at this stage. Once the quotation has been agreed, we can start on the detailed design. The project assignment is signed by both the client and the contractor. In many cases, the drawings and design calculations also need to be approved by inspection bodies.
INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & CERTIFICATION
Clear agreements are made regarding planning, lead times, implementation and delivery. At the end of the project, we will submit a maintenance agreement for one or more years. Fire safety systems are usually delivered with a certificate. Sometimes that is just a product certificate, but often there is also an inspection certificate from an accredited inspection body. The inspection involves checking that the system matches the approved design and is functional.
