Fire + Life Safety Systems Design

In a fire or emergency, a well-designed fire alarm system is the cornerstone of your fire protection design strategy. Working with building owners, designers, and architects, we determine system performance requirements, produce detailed fire alarm design drawings and documents, perform manufacturer specific calculations, and evaluate the installation of your systems.

Extinguishing or controlling a fire quickly can help prevent catastrophic fire damage. Our fire protection engineers can determine system performance requirements, evaluate water supply systems, perform hydraulic calculations, and assess code compliance. The best fire-fighting design involves the prevention involves stopping them from starting.

Smoke exposure is a primary concern in developing fire protection systems. We design smoke computer models to predict the movement of hot smoke and toxic gas through a building. Using these models, system performance can be refined and optimized prior to the procurement and installation of equipment, often resulting in substantial cost savings.
