Safe + Reliable Energy Delivery is Our Main Objective

From power generation, to transmission and distribution, to energy storage, our experts are at the forefront of hazard mitigation as new technology is introduced and adopted. Power generation spans from fossil-fueled energy sources to clean energy such as nuclear, wind, solar and energy storage. We are at the forefront of planning, designing and implementing fire and life safety systems to support safe and reliable facility operations.

These facilities pose unique hazards from 19th century technology to the challenges of modern energy storage solutions. For decades we have been helping to identify, analyze and mitigate risks such as fire and explosions to ensure business continuity—the backbone of entire global infrastructure.

We work to ensure that safety and compliance starts at the conceptual phase and ends with the implementation and maintenance at the facilities. If an incident does occur, we can assist with after-action reports, forensic evaluation, laboratory testing and root cause evaluations.

Safety Services for Clean Energy

Clean energy facilities pose unique challenges. While most clients require fire safety and code consulting, other needs vary based on factors like materials, power demands, facility size, seismic activity, and climate. Some clients may need to evaluate risks from materials disposal, while others require design calculations to minimize vibration effects on mechanical, electrical, water, and fire protection systems. Manufacturers may also need product failure investigation. Clean Energy Facilities include:

  • Battery Energy Storage (BESS)
  • Geothermal
  • Hydro-Electric
  • Power-Generation
  • Solar Storage
  • Wind Storage

Industry Leaders + Innovators

We employ an all-encompassing, start-to-finish problem-solving philosophy founded in smart policy, innovative research and practical engineering. The economic and regulatory trends of our clients extend well beyond just technical expertise and require a comprehensive understanding. This is why our team is built with top experts from policymakers including the regulators, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and Codes; researchers from national labs and top universities; and highly qualified engineers.

We have had active technical committee members on NFPA 850, Recommended Practice for Fire Protection for Electric Generating Plants and High Voltage Direct Current Converter Stations, since 2001. Our team works closely with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) providing risk management consulting and have developed multiple software programs to quantify risk and very no single point failures. Our cable raceway program maintains electrical calculations and supports cable installation. The system then can mass produce new facilities with similar data. Our US clients have used this feature to design more than 50 generation facilities, ensuring a quality installation.
