Example Skills
Fire Suppression System Layout in Revit
Perform detailed and coordinated three-dimensional fire suppression system layout using Revit and AutosprinkRVT.
Acoustic Modeling
Perform intelligibility and audibility modeling to aid in layout of audible notification appliances, particularly in large or acoustically challenging rooms.
Water Utility Planning
Model various fire water demand scenarios to ensure adequately sized underground water lines and adequate quantity of fire hydrants using EPANET or Revit and AutosprinkRVT.
Fire & Life Safety Assessments
Evaluate existing buildings for building and fire code compliance, evaluate existing fire protection systems for compliance, future building and campus planning, pre-purchase property assessments, and related tasks.
Hydrant Flow Testing
Perform hydrant flow testing to determine available flow and pressure values using calibrated pressure gauges, digital pressure sender/receiver, and dechlorination equipment if required by the jurisdiction.
Aircraft Hangar Fire Protection
Plan, design, and guide commissioning for fire suppression and fire detection/alarm systems including high expansion foam, grate nozzles, linear heat detection, flame detection, high power speaker arrays, and related systems.
Construction Quality Control
Perform site visits to observe installation and testing for compliance with contract documents and codes. Develop testing and commissioning documents to guide the contractor team.
Fire Alarm and Mass Notification
Develop fire alarm system layout including mass notification, voice evacuation, performance strobe layout, intelligible speaker layout, pathway survivability analysis, and related tasks.
Building and Fire Code Compliance
Develop or review building and site fire code plans to ensure proper building siting, fire hydrant spacing, construction type, occupancy separation, means of egress, exit sign placement, interior finish ratings, and related tasks.
Information Technology
Consult with owner to determine design objectives, selection of clean agent type, enclosure integrity considerations, air sampling smoke detection layout, releasing fire alarm system design, HVAC and power interface coordination, and associated tasks.
