Fire + Life Safety Systems Design
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 allows us to prepare accurate, cost effective, state-of-the-art fire protection design and life 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.

Fire & Life Safety Systems: Comply with NFPA 4 Standard for Integrated Testing?
Jensen Hughes' Dave LeBlanc discusses the importance of integrated testing for fire protection and life safety systems and how to stay compliant with the NFPA 4 Standard.
Single- and Multi-Station Low-Frequency Audible Signaling
Carson Cook discusses the challenge posed by the 2021 IBC requirement for audible alarms activated by single- and multiple-station smoke alarms and how to meet the requirement for non-transient occupancies.
The Importance of Performing and Managing Facility Inspections, Testing + Maintenance
Today’s buildings are part of a modern trend of larger structures. These larger structures not only require more advanced fire protection systems but also a more considered approach towards ensuring life safety for the occupants
