Gaseous Suppression Systems

Independent expertise. Specialist design. Trusted protection.

Gaseous suppression systems provide fast acting fire suppression using clean agent gases that extinguish fire without damaging sensitive equipment or critical assets. These systems are commonly used where business continuity, asset protection, and minimal post discharge clean up are essential.

Lil Fire delivers specialist gaseous suppression system services that combine technical expertise, practical experience, and modern digital delivery. We support projects from early strategy through to detailed design, coordination, and construction support, ensuring gaseous suppression solutions are effective, compliant, and fully integrated into the wider fire safety strategy

Management

Lil Fire provides technical management and oversight to support the successful delivery of gaseous suppression systems throughout the project lifecycle. We work closely with clients, design teams, approving authorities, insurers, manufacturers, and contractors to ensure system objectives, performance requirements, and responsibilities are clearly defined and effectively managed.

Our involvement typically includes oversight of suppression strategy, coordination between stakeholders, review of technical proposals, and support during installation, commissioning, and handover. This structured approach helps manage risk, avoid late stage changes, and ensure systems are delivered in line with approved design intent and performance criteria.

Design

Our gaseous suppression design services cover both new build and existing buildings and range from early concept development through to detailed coordinated design. We focus on developing solutions that achieve reliable fire suppression while maintaining safety for occupants and protecting sensitive environments.

Design development considers agent selection, room integrity, enclosure leakage, system zoning, discharge times, nozzle configuration, pipework routing, cylinder storage, and system interfaces. Our designers work using Autodesk Revit, delivering coordinated 3D BIM models that support spatial coordination, clash detection, and integration with other building services.

Digital delivery allows design risks to be identified early and supports efficient installation and long term system reliability.

Consultancy

Lil Fire provides independent gaseous suppression consultancy to support informed decision making and technical assurance. We advise on system suitability, feasibility, performance objectives, and compliance, and support the integration of gaseous suppression systems into broader fire strategies.

Our consultancy services are often used where projects involve critical infrastructure, high value assets, or environments where alternative suppression systems may not be appropriate. We provide clear, practical advice that balances fire performance, life safety, compliance, constructability, and commercial considerations.

Experience

Standards and Codes of Practice

Lil Fire is familiar with and experienced in working to a wide range of recognised national and international standards and guidance applicable to gaseous suppression systems. Our experience includes UK, European, and international standards, insurer driven requirements, and manufacturer specific design criteria.

This breadth of knowledge allows us to support projects involving complex compliance frameworks, international stakeholders, and performance based fire engineering approaches.


Gaseous Suppression System Types

We have experience across a wide range of gaseous suppression system configurations and agents, including:

  • Inert gas suppression systems
  • Chemical clean agent suppression systems
  • Total flooding gaseous suppression systems
  • Modular and centralised cylinder arrangements
  • Systems for normally occupied and unoccupied spaces

This experience allows us to advise on the most appropriate suppression solution based on fire risk, enclosure characteristics, occupancy, and operational requirements.


Manufacturers and Global Expertise

Lil Fire works with a range of gaseous suppression system manufacturers from across the world. We hold manufacturer accreditations that allow us to design and provide consultancy services on specific proprietary gaseous suppression systems.

This manufacturer accredited expertise ensures that designs are developed in accordance with approved system parameters, tested configurations, and recognised performance data, while maintaining independent, objective advice on system selection and strategy.
