Lithium-ion Risk Mitigation

Lithium-ion technology is hitting the market with speed and reach that regulatory bodies have not kept pace with. Our experts not only follow, participate in and shape these evolving regulatory provisions, but we also provide custom and performance-based life safety design for energy, utility, manufacturers, shipping and storage sites, governments, litigation firms, insurance companies and several other businesses in the industry. We identify and mitigate fire and thermal hazards, process risks and inefficiencies, and operational and emergency procedures for each unique application and use.

Performance-Based Design for Lithium-ion

Our evaluation assessment techniques and engineering simulations provide performance-based solutions to evaluate the unique threats, barriers, and consequences of lithium-ion battery hazards as well as their probability of occurring. These analysis techniques allow for quantifying the cost-benefit of mitigation measures, ensuring protection requirements can be selected with reasonable certainty and based on risk magnitude.

Lithium-ion Hazard Mitigation + Risk Assessment

Mitigation strategies and risk assessments for lithium-ion battery sites are crucial to ensure the safety of personnel, protect assets and prevent incidents. Understanding your needs, expected facility conditions and available operational support helps lower overall risk. This begins with proper facility design with lithium-ion battery safety in mind from the beginning. Our experts support clients in establishing appropriate design requirements, meeting compliance criteria, and increasing fire and life safety capabilities through ventilation, fire-rated walls and appropriate spacing.

Fire Protection Systems Design for Lithium-ion

We go beyond the standard approach to fire protection and determine the most appropriate way to quickly detect and suppress a fire by evaluating potential fire scenarios, conducting flammability analysis, and integrating local regulations. We subscribe to a philosophy of cohesive design from concept to execution, providing clients with feasible, practical and goal-oriented fire protection systems design. Keeping costs in mind, we assess hazards and either modify existing fire protection systems or design new systems.
