Life safety codes exist to assure the protection of people and property and generally include passive systems such as structural fire resistance, fire-rated barriers, smoke barriers, and the means of egress. Complex facilities require sophisticated coordination and strategic planning to satisfy the requirement of all elements in the fire protection systems to work together. The complexity of the code requires expertise and understanding of the intent to achieve compliance and solutions that integrate with architectural concepts. That's where we come in.
