Closes a civil defence comment with a photo
The fire engineer designs and checks alarm, sprinkler and suppression systems, emergency exits and escape distances. They prepare the civil defence file and attend its tests before the building opens.
Without the civil defence certificate the building cannot be occupied, and any comment from them sends work back. A mistake in a fire system can cost lives.
In EDC sprinklers, smoke detectors and emergency exits show on the model, where they can review coverage and distances. Any clash with air conditioning or the ceiling goes to the designer at its spot.
Pressure and alarm tests are logged floor by floor with results and photos, and the civil defence file builds itself from them. Their comments are closed on the element until approval.
