Special Extinguishing Systems (e.g. Clean Agent, Gaseous Systems, Fixed Aerosol, Kitchen Hood)
Design, project management, and contract administration for cost-effective special extinguishing systems that match hazards with appropriate protection.

5-Year Hazard Assessment Program for Nuclear Facilities
N293- and N393-compliant plants and facilities are required to revise and reaffirm their fire protection assessments (FPAs) at least once every five years. This process includes updating the Fire Hazard Assessments (FHAs) and Fire Safe Shutdown Analyses (FSSA).
These assessments often demand a substantial investment in finances, time, and resources.
Our 5-year hazard assessment programs for nuclear facilities allow for early schedule planning, reduced financial commitments, and optimal resource utilization.
