Design & planning
In Ireland, when applying for planning permission to build a new development, it's essential to ensure that there is sufficient water available to extinguish a fire in an emergency. If the mains water supply is insufficient, a holding or fire water storage tank may be required to meet the necessary water volume for firefighting. These tanks must be independent of the main water supply and equipped with the appropriate suction connections and fittings, compliant with BS336 standards.
Once you've determined the required flow rate (litres per second) and the volume needed to safely extinguish a fire on your development, our engineers will design a custom solution tailored to your specific needs.
