Fire protection and life safety

Fire systems are judged on one day: the Civil Defence inspection.

In Dubai, only companies approved by Dubai Civil Defence may install fire systems. We design and install sprinkler systems, fire pumps, wet and dry risers, hydrant networks and fire alarm systems, and take each one through Civil Defence’s stages to the completion certificate.

How we work

What makes the difference on this discipline.

Planned around Civil Defence’s stages

Submissions, stage inspections and the final test are in the programme from the start, and every test is witnessed and recorded.

Proven together, not one by one

Cause-and-effect tests prove that alarms, fans, lifts, dampers and doors respond together before the inspector arrives.

Standards we work to
  • UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice
  • NFPA 13, 14, 20 and 72
  • Dubai Civil Defence requirements

Questions clients ask

Before you appoint us.

Are you approved by Dubai Civil Defence?

Fire systems in Dubai are installed only by contractors approved by Dubai Civil Defence. We install them ourselves or with an approved specialist, under one contract and one programme.

Do you build hydrant networks outside the building?

Yes. See the Dubai Maritime City hydrant system and the Mina Rashid firefighting networks in our project record.
