Why Jensen Hughes?
For over 20 years, we have maintained a well-established base of operations in Seoul. This local presence allows us to deliver expert specialist engineering services across South Korea and the broader region. Backed by our extensive global capabilities, our highly responsive local team is dedicated to providing clients with the very best solutions. Through continuous technology innovation, knowledge-sharing, and world-class R&D, we are driving our industry forward. We focus on six primary services: fire protection engineering and design, fire protection and life safety services, clean agent system software, specialty services for Korean engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects, dust hazard analysis (DHA), and fire performance-based design (PBD). Our local team of experts delivers high-quality project outcomes, which are further enhanced by Jensen Hughes’ extensive global capabilities.
Fire Protection Engineering + Design
We offer comprehensive fire protection design services for a diverse range of facilities, including manufacturing plants, power plants, oil and gas refineries, desalination plants, steel mills, environmental facilities, and high-rise buildings. Our services encompass determining system performance requirements, producing detailed design drawings from initial schematics, performing manufacturer-specific calculations, and evaluating the installation of your fire protection systems. Additionally, we identify the relevant building codes and criteria applicable to your specific project.
Life Safety + Code Regulations
We provide fire protection and life safety services for worldwide hotel chains, U.S. military facilities, renowned factories and high-rise building projects. Our services include code consulting, inspection, testing, commissioning and acceptance, plan review, fire protection/life safety system evaluation, audit, code representation, and third-party peer review.
Clean Agent System Software
Our software has been used by several system manufacturers for their clean agent systems and as part of their system’s Listings and Approvals. The software has been used for halocarbon agents like HFC-227ea (FM-200), HFC-125 (FE-25), FK-5-1-12 (Novec 1230) and inert gases, including IG-100 (Nitrogen), IG-01 (Argon), IG-55 (Argonite) and IG-541 (Inergen). Our software provides a user-friendly interface for the model consisting of a series of input screens that guide the designer through the system design.
Specialty Services for Korean EPC Projects
We have partnered on Korean Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects for many years and know the processes, operations, and preferred methods to solve complex design and construction challenges. With experts in our Korea office and more than 90 offices worldwide, we can help you achieve compliance and manage risks for your overseas projects. Our comprehensive services include fire engineering, fire and life safety, risks and hazards, and local fire permit services.
Dust Hazard Analysis
Dust hazard analysis (DHA) is a systematic review of potential fire, flash fire or explosive hazards associated with combustible dust and the plan to mitigate the risk. Through DHA, we help you establish a baseline level of worker safety and business continuity while limiting damage to buildings and processes from combustible dust-related fires, deflagrations or explosions. Our DHA report provides you with actionable, prioritized recommendations to bridge any gaps between existing conditions and industry best practices.
Fire Performance-Based Design
Our performance-based design (PBD) services include fire alarm, fire suppression, and smoke control systems design as well as scientific and reasonable scenarios design, application of computer-based fire modeling, fire-structural analysis, and other specialized applications. Our advanced computer models analyze fire, smoke and structural consequences to develop performance-based solutions. PBD solutions can achieve compliance with the intent of prescriptive building codes.
