Fire Protection Engineering

Fire Protection Engineering

Creativity – Discovering opportunity in every challenge.

In response to evolving societal expectations, the built environment has changed, producing increasingly complex, energy-efficient and flexible structures.  These same expectations also apply to life safety; failure of buildings to safety accommodate occupants is literally not an option.  The application of sound Fire Protection principles has become a vital aspect of many new building projects, and operational concern for existing facilities.

Our fire protection engineering team works with Clients to provide code consulting for new facility design, design for upgrades and renovations of specific protective systems in existing buildings, and litigation support following a fire incident.  We have experience designing a variety of fire suppression, detection, alarm, and communication systems.  Our team also routinely provides analysis and recommendations for the analysis and design of water supply and distribution systems including on-site water storage, fire pumps, hydrant installations, and water supply systems.
