Fire Alarms are a vital part of fire protection. The alarm monitors various initiating devices, such as smoke detectors and water flow switches, and notifies occupants of an emergency.
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.
NVCC Building CC - Smoke Detector Modifications
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for providing the design and specifications for fire alarm modifications. Drop ceilings were installed in several classrooms which removed beam pockets and resulted in the removal of many smoke detectors.
Mixed Oxide Facility Detection Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for generating fire models to determine smoke detector coverage requirements. Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and Consolidated Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) were used to ensure detection met performance objectives for sensitive areas.
Perry Nuclear Power Plant - Containment Detection
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for determining the effectiveness of an alternate means of detection. Due to harsh conditions, wiring for a detection system had degraded. Fire Dynamics Simulator was used to determine if the other detection systems in the area would provide reasonable coverage.
