FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Through the MORPHORISER spin-off, fire detection, alarm, preaction, and fire suppression systems are modeled, including sprinkler networks, vortex systems, and water mist systems. RedLine documentation is developed, along with code-compliant as-built deliverables and coverage simulations for water and high-density foam.
