Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
DfMA is an engineering approach that optimises fire protection systems for factory fabrication and on-site assembly. Instead of building complex piping networks piece-by-piece on congested sites, we design, fabricate, test, and deliver complete modules in a controlled environment.
Every component—control valves, risers, pumps, piping—arrives pre-assembled, pre-tested, and ready to connect. The result: predictable quality, compressed schedules, and safer installations.
Traditional vs. DfMA
Traditional Fire Protection
Manual on-site assembly
Weather-dependent schedules
Higher error rates from field conditions
Limited quality control until final testing
Longer installation timelines
More site safety risks
DfMA Approach
Factory-controlled fabrication
Weather-proof production
Quality built-in at every step
100% pre-tested before delivery
40-60% faster installation
90% reduction in site hazards
How DfMA works
Traditional fire protection relies on manual field assembly—slow, error-prone, weather-dependent. At the Experience Centre, visitors witness how DfMA changes the equation:
01 - Design
Integrated planning with BIM and digital delivery. Every connection, valve, and pipe modeled before fabrication begins.
02 - Fabricate
Factory automation and robotics build modules to exact specifications. Controlled environment ensures consistent quality.
03 - Assemble
Quality-controlled module assembly with pressure testing and inspection. Every module documented and certified.
04 - Protect
On-site installation and commissioning. Plug-and-play connections reduce install time by 60%.
