Projects
Warehouse Storage and Packing Facility PBD Third Party Review
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for performing a third party review of a large warehouse performance based design.
WCAA Airport Rescue and Firefighting Training Facility
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating fire hydrant piping to ensure suffient flows for the Airport Rescue and Firefigthing facility.
Activation Capital Atrium Smoke Exhaust Modeling
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for determining the requirements for an atrium smoke exhaust system. The unique atrium has stairs within the atriums which direct smoke underneath the floor slabs. Supplemental exhaust at lower elevations was required to maintain performance-based goals.
Rivertech Building GSA Form 12000 Inspection
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for performing a building wide fire protection audit. The audit established the minimum requirements were met for GSA acceptance of a space.
Destiny Canyon Beam Detector Placement Modeling
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for determining the maximum beam detector spacing in an atrium. FDS plume models established a profile of smoke obscuration with respect to the height and radial offset from the fire. The models determined the optimal smoke obscuration settings and spacing for the beam detectors.
Detroit Metro Airport Tunnel Fire Modeling
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating exhaust needs in short road tunnels by the airport. Two tunnels had different exhaust designs that needed to be evaluated for structural integrity and human tenability per NFPA 502.
University of Rochester Medical Center - Hood Exhaust
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for determining the risk of fire on the exhaust system for medical lab benches. The models focused on several fire scenarios to determine the impact on the PVC exhaust piping.
GMU Johnson Center - Egress Study
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating the egress capabilities of the student center. A change in the use of large areas on upper floors would require additional egress capacity. Egress modeling was used to determine a new occupant load that could safely evacuate the building while tenability was maintained in …
NNS - Dust Hazard Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating several processes that generate explosible dust. Twelve buildings were evaluated in processes from cutting to sandblasting, to powder coating. Explosion propagation was considered, and recommendations were made to reduce the risk of dust explosions.
Carvana Vending Machine Structural Steel Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for developing performance-based criteria and modeling fires in an eight-story Carvana Vending Machine. Each level has four cars surrounding a central hoistway. The goal was to determine the suppression requirements to prevent additional cars from igniting.
NNS - Foundry Exhaust
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for designing a plan to prevent sparks from an electric arc furnace igniting air filters in the exhaust system. The design included a redundant approach of passive spark cooling and active spark detection and extinguishing system.
Element Detroit at the Metropolitan - Starwood Survey
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for performing a site survey for a historic building that was being renovated into a hotel. The survey was performed per the Starwood requirements by Marriott.
