Protect the coverage. Clear the route.
Fire protection models must satisfy system intent and spatial constraints at once. We coordinate networks without losing the clearances and access that safe operation depends on.
A pipe that fits may still put the system at risk.
Fire protection BIM modelling represents sprinkler networks, suppression systems, pumps, tanks, valves, hose reels and associated equipment. Routes and components are developed against design information, coverage requirements and the agreed project LOD.
Coordination cannot be reduced to avoiding physical intersections. Sprinkler discharge patterns, valve access, fire-rated construction, maintenance zones and interfaces with ceilings or services all affect whether the installation remains workable.
CNE places fire protection information within the multidisciplinary model and resolves conflicts with structure, architecture and MEP systems. Decisions are recorded so spatial changes do not quietly undermine the approved design intent.
Modelled for installation and review
Mains, branches, drops, heads, valves and test assemblies are developed with sizes, levels and system relationships.
Relevant pipework, nozzles, cylinders and equipment are represented to the required coordination and documentation level.
Fire pumps, tanks, manifolds and connected services are arranged with access, base and replacement requirements considered.
Head locations are coordinated with ceiling modules, lights, diffusers, obstructions and the stated coverage design.
Service penetrations and routes through rated walls or floors are identified for builderwork and fire-stopping review.
Models, plans, sections, schedules and issue records are prepared from the current approved coordination baseline.
Clearance is part of protection.
We coordinate geometry without treating coverage, access or fire-rated interfaces as someone else's later check.
Heads, diffusers, lighting and architectural modules are reviewed together before reflected ceiling plans are frozen.
Revised routes are rechecked against adjacent services so one resolved clash does not create another.
Coordinate the life-safety network before site.
Share your fire protection design, architectural backgrounds and coordination requirements. CNE will develop a model that supports review and installation.
