FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM EVALUATION
Our Fire Protection System Evaluations provide comprehensive forensic assessments of fire sprinkler, standpipe, and alarm systems to identify failures, code deficiencies, or design and installation issues. These evaluations are often initiated in response to system malfunctions, water damage incidents, failed inspections, or post-incident investigations. Our engineers review system layout, hydraulic calculations, device placement, control functionality, and maintenance history to determine whether the system meets NFPA standards, local code requirements, and operational performance expectations. Findings are presented in detailed reports suitable for litigation support, insurance claims, corrective design, or regulatory compliance.
System Functionality and Readiness Testing
Tests critical components like sprinklers, alarms, and valves to confirm that they activate correctly during an emergency. For instance, in a high-occupancy building, this testing is vital to ensure reliable performance during a fire, safeguarding lives and property.
Code and Standards Compliance Verification
Checks that systems align with NFPA and local fire codes, which is essential for both safety and legal compliance. In newly renovated or repurposed buildings, this assessment helps ensure that fire protection systems meet updated codes, avoiding penalties and reducing liability.
Preventive Maintenance Recommendations
Provides customized maintenance plans to keep systems in optimal condition. For example, in large warehouses where fire protection may not be frequently inspected, these recommendations ensure that equipment remains functional, reducing the risk of malfunction during a fire.
