EGRESS PLANNING

Egress planning is a fundamental component of life safety and building code compliance, ensuring that occupants can evacuate quickly and safely during emergencies. Our engineering team develops egress strategies that align with the International Building Code (IBC), NFPA standards, and local jurisdictional requirements, supporting both new construction and renovation projects.

Exit Route Design

We design efficient exit routes for safe evacuations during emergencies, analyzing building layouts to optimize exit locations and minimize travel distances. Our designs comply with fire safety codes, prioritizing clear signage, accessibility, and refuge areas, ensuring quick and effective movement of occupants in critical situations.

Emergency Lighting Design

Our emergency lighting design ensures adequate illumination along exit routes during power outages. We assess visibility requirements and select compliant fixtures, integrating them into the egress strategy to enhance occupant safety and facilitate effective navigation in low-light conditions during emergencies.

Egress Capacity Analysis

We conduct egress capacity analysis to assess the maximum number of occupants that can safely exit a building within a specific timeframe. By evaluating exit widths, travel distances, and potential bottlenecks, we assist clients in designing buildings that comply with life safety codes and enhance emergency safety.
