Fire System Design
Code-compliant fire sprinkler system design from initial site survey through plan review and AHJ approval — engineered for your building, your occupancy, and your budget.
From the Ground Up
Every fire sprinkler installation starts with a solid design. At Hydrotek Fire Systems, we handle the full design process in-house — from reviewing your building's architectural plans and conducting on-site surveys, through hydraulic calculations, CAD layout, and AHJ plan submission. Whether new construction, retrofits, or tenant improvements — tailored to hazard, occupancy, and water supply.
Whether you're building new construction, retrofitting an existing structure, or planning a tenant improvement, our designs are tailored to the specific hazard classification, occupancy type, and water supply conditions of your project. We work directly with general contractors, property owners, and building departments to keep your project on schedule and fully code-compliant.
Our Design Process
Seamless workflow from consultation to installation handoff, backed by precision engineering.
Consultation & Site Survey
Review project scope, architectural drawings, building specs. On-site assessments of water supply, ceiling heights, and infrastructure.
Hazard Classification
Determine Light, Ordinary, or Extra Hazard based on occupancy & contents. Drives sprinkler spacing, pipe sizing, water density.
System Layout & CAD Drawings
Detailed shop drawings: head placement, pipe routing, risers, hangers. Professionally drafted for AHJ & contractor review.
Hydraulic Calculations
Verify water supply delivers required flow & pressure at most demanding heads – reliable performance under real conditions.
Plan Review & AHJ Submission
Submit to local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Handle revisions, coordinate with fire marshal for fast-track approvals.
Installation Handoff
Design package ready for field crew or installing contractor. Full material lists, cut sheets, coordination support.
What We Design
Comprehensive fire protection tailored for every environment.
Wet Pipe Systems
Pressurized water, immediate discharge upon sprinkler activation. Most common & reliable.
Dry Pipe Systems
For unheated spaces (garages, warehouses). Pressurized air prevents freezing.
Standpipe Systems
Vertical piping, hose connections for firefighter use in multi-story buildings.
Underground Fire Mains
Below-grade piping from public supply to sprinkler system, hydrants, FDC.
Kitchen Hood Suppression
Wet chemical systems for commercial kitchen hoods, protect against grease fires.
Fire Pump Systems
Boost pressure & flow when municipal supply insufficient — engineered solutions.
Designed to Code
Every system we design is engineered to meet the latest editions of NFPA standards and California building and fire codes. We stay current on local amendments and AHJ requirements across every jurisdiction we serve, so your plans pass review the first time.
