Fire Protection & Plumbing Design Consultant | NFPA & USACE Experience

I’m a Fire Fighting & Plumbing Design Engineer based in India, working globally.

WHAT I DO

I PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION AND PLUMBING SYSTEM DESIGN SERVICES

DELIVERING CODE-COMPLIANT, COST-OPTIMIZED SOLUTIONS ALIGNED WITH NFPA, UFC, FM Global, UPC, NSPC, INTERNATIONAL AND INDIAN STANDARDS.

With over 18 years of Gulf experience and USACE Projects, I design fire protection and plumbing systems for industrial, commercial, and military projects worldwide. My expertise includes hydraulic calculations, seismic bracing design, and code-compliant solutions aligned with NFPA, FM Global, UFC, UAE/Kuwait Fire Code, International and Indian Standards (NBC & IS Codes).

Here’s What to Expect from the Engineering Design Process

Project Review & Code Assessment

At the initial stage, I review architectural drawings, specifications, and project requirements to determine the applicable codes and design criteria. This includes compliance evaluation with NFPA, FM Global, UFC, UAE Fire Code, NBC 2016, and relevant IS standards.

Project Review & Code Assessment

Designs are coordinated with architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines to ensure clash-free integration. Documentation is prepared for authority submission and approval, ensuring adherence to local and international standards.

System Design & Hydraulic Analysis

Based on project classification and hazard assessment, I develop detailed fire protection and plumbing system layouts. Hydraulic calculations (HASS or manual verifications), pipe sizing, pressure loss analysis, and seismic bracing calculations are performed to ensure full code compliance and optimized system performance.

Project Review & Code Assessment

Upon design finalization, I provide complete shop drawings, calculation packages, BoQ support, and technical clarifications. I remain available for revisions, RFI responses, and construction-stage engineering assistance.
