PLUMBING & FIRE FIGHTING
Practical Building Services Design Training with Real Project Exposure & Placement Support
Overview
The Plumbing & Fire-Fighting Design Course at Maven Centre of Excellence (Maven COE) is a job-oriented program designed to train engineers in building water supply, drainage, sanitary and fire protection system design used in residential, commercial and industrial projects.
This course focuses on practical design concepts, calculations, layouts and industry codes - the same skills expected from engineers working in MEP consultancy and contracting companies.
By the end of this course, you will be able to design safe, compliant plumbing and fire-fighting systems and confidently explain your work in interviews.
Why Plumbing & Fire-Fighting Design Are Critical Skills
- Safe water supply and sanitation
- Efficient drainage and storm water management
- Fire detection, alarm and suppression systems
- Compliance with safety codes and regulations
Mistakes in these systems can lead to health risks, safety hazards and legal issues.
That’s why companies need engineers who understand design logic, calculations and standards not just drawings.
