Fire Protection System Design In Wisconsin

We design, fabricate and install turn-key commercial fire suppression systems for any new or existing facility. With decades of collective industry experience, our team can identify and address potential problem areas of your facility to ensure you have adequate fire protection. Our fire suppression systems are composed of:

  • .NFPA 13 Water Systems
  • .Fire Alarms
  • .Backflow Prevention & Cross Connection
  • .Fire Pump Controls
  • .Antifreeze Sprinkler Systems

Types of fire Protection Systems:

Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems:

standard in most buildings. Water in the system's pipes is released when the sprinkler heads are opened.

Dry Pipe Systems:

have air inside the pipe and water is released after a slight delay. They are common in Wisconsin and Illinois where the water in pipes can freeze.

Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems:

wet and dry pipe technology. The system senses smoke or heat and activates a pre-action valve which lets water flow into pipes, creating a wet pipe system.

Deluge Fire Systems:

are used in areas where fire could spread rapidly. Deluge systems unleash a large amount of water in a small amount of time to quickly extinguish flames.

Fire Protection System Installation

Commercial fire suppression systems cannot be installed by average contractors. Southport employs a licensed team of fire sprinkler contractors who fully understand the nuances of NFPA regulations and commercial fire suppression systems.

Fire suppression systems must meet a combination of SPS and NFPA codes that are federally mandated and dictate everything from how a sprinkler head can be installed to how fire extinguishers can be mounted. SPS codes vary from city to city and dictate a facility’s required safety protocols. At Southport, we guarantee your fire suppression system will be up to code and safe in an emergency.
