Building & Fire Code Analysis:
--> Research and identify appropriate requirements based on each project's distinctive situation; --> Prepare code equivalencies; --> Develop innovation solutions that reduces the time and cost of design and construction; --> Integrate various fire protection, life safety, and security building systems into a comprehensive package.
Exiting Analysis:
--> Review of architectural drawings for compliance with the exiting requirements of Building and Fire Codes; --> Conduct detailed exit calculations and diagrams; --> Develop alternative innovative solutions to complex exiting conditions.
Computerized Fire Modeling:
--> Perform fire growth and smoke development calculations using computer fire models, e.g., FPETool, CFAST, FDS, etc. for fire investigations and to determine and develop the most appropriate method(s) to mitigate a facility's fire and life safety risk; --> Calculate fuel loads; --> Conduct timed egress analysis.
Accessibility & ADA Code Compliance Services:
--> Audit new and existing properties, review design documents, and develop design approaches to comply with accessibility code requirements.
Negotiations with Authorities Having Jurisdiction:
--> Convene technical discussions with building and fire officials to fully explain a project's distinctive approach, compliance and alleviation of code requirements; --> Obtain acceptance of Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Due Diligence Surveys:
--> Conduct field audits of new and existing facilities for building and fire code and ADA compliance; --> Provide site selection support including investigating undeveloped sites for fire protection/building code criteria and available water supply for fire protection purposes.
Analysis of Fire Code Requirements for Hazardous Materials & Chemicals:
--> Determination of allowable inventory levels; commodity compatibility and compartmentation; --> Calculate explosion-venting requirements; --> Determine fire detection and suppression systems design criteria; --> Prepare and maintain inventory control databases.
Codes & Standards Monitoring Services:
--> Represent clients at the various local, state and national building and fire codes and standards making proceedings; --> Prepare summary reports of changes and actions.
