Enterprise Energy Engineering + Safety Consulting
Helping public utilities navigate permitting, accessibility requirements and fire life safety design to deliver safer, more secure, and reliable energy systems
Knowing Your Businesses + Threats Can Keep You Ahead of The Curve
Our expertise in risk mitigation and reliability techniques has established us as a leader in ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing safety and operational performance at complex facilities like nuclear stations, switchyards, BESS installations, and CCGT plants. We provide comprehensive risk mitigation services - thorough assessments, risk-informed engineering and design, and appropriate technology - all within a site-specific framework.
Power Generation Solutions
From power generation—including nuclear and conventional sources such as natural gas—to transmission and distribution, our experts are at the forefront of hazard mitigation as new technologies are introduced and adopted. Power generation spans a diverse mix of energy sources, from fossil-fueled and nuclear facilities to renewables such as wind and solar. We are at the forefront of planning, designing and implementing fire and life safety systems to support safe and reliable facility operations.
Wildfire Hazard, Risk + Vulnerability Assessments
Our wildfire risk mitigation and resilience experts support preparedness, planning, response and recovery strategies, incorporating the latest research in wildfire science, climate change, disaster management and fire engineering. Our hazard, risk, and vulnerability assessments account for spatial and non-spatial physical, social, economic, and ecological factors. This approach provides our clients with a holistic understanding to support decision-making, adaptive solutions and long-term resiliency at the enterprise level.
