Fire + Life Safety Systems Design


Compliant, integrated fire and suppression systems design solutions that address fire and life safety matters within the built environment.

Fire Protection Design Services Integral to Safety + Property Protection

Fire and life safety are pivotal considerations in today’s building designs. The integration of fire alarm systems, fire protection, life safety, and other fire protection systems into the design of all building types is essential for safety, property protection and code compliance. As leaders among fire and life safety consultants, we're actively involved in the development process for many of the fire protection system codes and standards. This knowledge and experience allow us to prepare accurate, cost-effective, state-of-the-art fire protection design and property systems.

Fire Alarm Design Services + Detection Systems

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.

Fire Suppression Systems Design

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.

Smoke Control

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.
