Engineering Services

Buildings that utilize the most efficient and cost-effective fire protection systems start with exceptional engineering. Our full-service engineering department offers a comprehensive suite of engineering services and advanced technologies that provide your facility with an unparalleled level of life safety.

Here are brief descriptions of our key services:

Hazard Evaluation

We evaluate hazards for performance-based design using a variety of criteria. In addition to the construction type and protection levels used in the building, our engineers evaluate the occupancy of the building, the processes in the building, and local response capabilities. By taking all of these factors into account, we provide designers with comprehensive information of the building and its contents.

Computer Modeling

We use modern computer modeling techniques to assist your engineers in evaluating hazard development and system performance. To ensure that you have the most effective fire suppression and detection systems, as well as a comprehensive evacuation program, we utilize the following type of computer modeling:

• Timed egress modeling
• Smoke evacuation modeling
• Fire detection device activation time (sprinklers and smoke/heat detectors)
• Compartment fire modeling

Design Methodology

Our engineers tie together code requirements, test data, and computer modeling in order to create designs that reduce liability and provide the highest level of property protection. Our project engineer interfaces with all of your departments to ensure accurate costing and seamless installation.
