Services // Life Safety/Fire Protection

H&A offers fire protection engineering, code consulting, and life safety consulting as an integral component of our engineering services and as a stand-alone specialty service. The design of cost-effective and well-engineered fire protection systems requires a design professional who has sound technical knowledge of fire protection systems and a thorough understanding of buildings and the construction process. H&A’s engineers are specially trained and registered in the Professional Fire Protection Engineering discipline and are skilled in the interpretation and application of building and fire codes and their associated design standards. It is not always possible to meet the “letter of the code,” so it is imperative that your code consultant understands the “intent of the code.”
