Core principles of FM Global-based design

FM Global sets strict requirements for designing facilities with a focus on insurance protection and resilience to hazardous events:

• Risk assessment – development of engineering solutions based on analysis of potential threats, including fires, explosions, and structural damage.
• Selection of construction materials – use of non-combustible and impact-resistant materials to minimize the risk of fire spread.
• Design of automatic fire suppression systems – ensuring maximum efficiency of water, gas, or foam-based systems in compliance with FM Global requirements.
• Hydraulic calculations – determining water supply parameters, pressure, and flow rates to ensure stable operation of the fire suppression system.
• Monitoring and control – integrating safety systems into a single platform for timely response and damage mitigation.

NFPA provides detailed requirements for the design of engineering safety systems, covering all aspects of fire protection:

• NFPA 13 – design of automatic sprinkler systems, including requirements for water flow and hydraulic balance.
• NFPA 72 – development of fire alarm and notification systems, with integration into the building’s engineering infrastructure.
• NFPA 101 – ensuring safe evacuation routes, and designing emergency lighting and exit systems.
• NFPA 25 – regulations for the maintenance of fire suppression systems, including inspection schedules and functional testing requirements.

The modern design approach involves the comprehensive integration of fire protection and engineering solutions to achieve maximum reliability:

• Engineering modeling – use of simulation software to analyze potential fire spread scenarios and plan effective protection measures.
• Adaptation to facility type – taking into account the specifics of industrial, commercial, or residential buildings when selecting optimal solutions.
• Automated control – integration of monitoring, fire suppression, and evacuation systems for rapid response in emergency situations.

Fire protection system design according to NFPA standards

Integration of security systems into building design

Design in accordance with FM Global and NFPA standards is a guarantee of high-level facility protection, compliance with international regulations, and minimization of operational risks.
Engineering solutions based on these standards ensure resistance to external factors, reliable performance of fire protection systems, and the safety of people.
