When it comes to fire protection and prevention, most of us are familiar with active fire suppression systems ñ sprinklers and alarms. Unfortunately, these systems alone cannot stop the rapid spread of smoke through a building's invisible passageways and will shut down if your commercial building loses electrical or water power. The installation of a passive fire suppression system prevents or retards the movement of fire and smoke by increasing a building's structural stability and minimizing its unsealed joints, ducts, chases, and conceaaled spaces.
Our professionally trained and certified staff of engineers provide a comprehensive suite of fire protection and fire prevention services. We offer support throughout the entire design and build process ó from educating you about the latest technologies and solutions to final installation and approval by the local building inspector.
As a member of your project team, we will conduct upfront contract reviews and core drill requirements that reduce annular space, eliminate substandard firestop systems and materials, and avoid, wherever possible, penetration of fire and smoke barriers. And because FireSmart assumes a level of liability for owners, architects, engineers, contractors and building inspectors, we only install tested and accredited firestop systems that are guaranteed to perform under adverse fire and smoke conditions. Our goal is to ensure a fire- and smoke-free building in full compliance with state and local building codes for fire prevention systems.
