Unnikrishnan & Associates: Ensuring Fire Safety and Protection with comprehensive range of Consulting and Sustainability Services

By

India has witnessed many tragic fire holocausts that claimed many innocent lives primarily due to lack of fire safety measures, improper design of buildings, negligence and sloppiness of administration and frayed cords or improper use of extension cords. The Loss Prevention Association of India had carried out a detailed study on catastrophic fire accidents which revealed that the total number of deaths due to fire in 2001, 2002 and 2003 was 5787 and total property loss was estimated to be Rs 1046 crore in India and this count went on increasing over the last few years. Even after such sharp rise in fire related deaths, hardly any long-term safety measures have been put into place. Majority of the vendors providing fire and safety services are not able to help organizations carry out fire safety reviews and fire risk assessments of individual buildings and/or the whole estate (both during the design stage and after completion or occupation), and develop the organization’s fire safety strategy. Unnikrishnan & Associates, headquartered in Thane- Maharashtra provides fire-fighting solutions adhering to the codes and standards in Design of buildings.

The fire suppression system consists of Fire Hydrant system, automatic sprinkler system, gas based fire protection and smoke ventilation system. “We carry out various audits while reviewing the current state of system with respect to the original installation and the statutory certificates (Fire – No Objection Certificates) received for the project from our customers”, says Mr. Unnikrishnan, Managing Director of Unnikrishnan & Associates. After receiving the NOC from the customer, the company reviews the system status with respect to the current changes within the system status and standards and suggests modifications as required.
Additionally, it has become imperative for building owners, designers to ensure reliability, robustness and cost effectiveness of their building systems. However, the coordination of mechanical and electrical systems to detail their configuration provides a major challenge for complex building and industrial projects. Addressing this challenge, Unnikrishnan & Associates offers comprehensive range of consulting and sustainability services for MEP systems for all types of buildings. “Our comprehensive building services design engineering team continuously updates design standards to improve and add value to designs through improved integration and Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) coordination”, adds Mr. Unnikrishnan.
