Life Safety — NFPA 13

Fire
Suppression Systems

Complete fire suppression inspection — from wet pipe sprinklers to clean agent systems for sensitive environments.

Overview

Complete Fire Suppression for Every Occupancy

Powered Control Systems performs tests and inspections on fire suppression systems for commercial, industrial, healthcare, and specialty applications across Utah. From standard wet-pipe sprinkler systems in office buildings to clean agent suppression in data centers and server rooms, our engineers select and design the right suppression system for your occupancy and risk profile.

Our team is well-versed in NFPA 13, NFPA 15, NFPA 12, and NFPA 2001 — the standards governing suppression system design. We work closely with mechanical engineers and general contractors to coordinate suppression system installation with the broader building systems, reducing conflicts and keeping projects on schedule.

PCS also provides predictive modeling based on our annual inspection, testing, and certification services for suppression systems. This helps cut down on surprise service calls and provides a clear future roadmap.

Our Capabilities

  • Wet pipe sprinkler systems (NFPA 13) — commercial and residential
  • Dry pipe systems for unheated spaces and cold storage
  • Pre-action systems for sensitive environments (data centers, museums)
  • Deluge systems for high-hazard occupancies
  • Clean agent (FM-200, Novec 1230) suppression for electronics and server rooms
  • CO₂ and dry chemical special hazard systems
  • Kitchen hood suppression systems
  • Underground fire main and private hydrant systems
  • Hydraulic calculations and flow testing
  • Annual inspection, testing, and certification (NFPA 25)
  • System impairment coordination and fire watch
  • Backflow preventer testing
Why Choose PCS

The PCS Difference

Full Service Inspection and Certification

Our team performs full spectrum testing, inspection, and certification of all NFPA sprinkler systems.

All Occupancy Types

From simple office buildings to complex healthcare and industrial facilities — we have designed suppression systems for every type of occupancy in Utah.

Best in Class Predictive Modeling

We compile analytics from prior inspections and have highly accurate predictive models that allow us to cut down on catastrophic failures, and help in budgeting to meet particular yearly inspection mandates.

Code Expertise

Deep familiarity with Utah's adopted editions of NFPA 13 and 25 means your system is designed right the first time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

PCS services/inspects wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, deluge, and clean agent suppression systems, as well as CO₂, dry chemical, and kitchen hood systems. The right service and inspection depend on your occupancy type, hazard classification, and environmental conditions.

NFPA 25 requires quarterly, annual, and 5-year inspections for wet pipe systems, with specific testing intervals for each component. Dry pipe and pre-action systems have additional requirements. PCS provides comprehensive inspection programs tailored to your system type.

Yes — data centers and server rooms typically require clean agent suppression systems (FM-200 or Novec 1230) that suppress fires without damaging sensitive electronics and without leaving residue. Water-based systems are generally not appropriate for these environments. PCS specializes in clean agent system design for Utah data centers and critical infrastructure.

Yes. PCS inspects and certifies suppression systems regardless of who installed them. We can also assess existing systems for code compliance and recommend upgrades or repairs.
