"When we presented to our building authority, they said it was the most comprehensive report they’d ever seen. The approach, the theory, the execution were all top notch. And there was no pushback.”

Our Manufacturing Fire Protection Expertise

Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA)

Comprehensive assessment of combustible dust risks in manufacturing operations, identifying potential ignition sources and developing mitigation strategies for facilities handling powders, dust, and small particles that could cause flash fires or explosions.

Battery Manufacturing Fire Protection

Specialized fire protection for lithium-ion battery production facilities, addressing thermal runaway risks and unique suppression requirements where standard codes provide no prescriptive guidance.

Fire Hazard Analysis

Expert analysis filling code gaps for manufacturing facilities with unique hazards, clarifying code requirements and providing mitigation strategies for industrial operations codes don't specifically address.

Hazardous Materials Consulting

Classification and analysis for facilities handling flammable liquids, reactive chemicals, and hazardous materials requiring enhanced protection strategies beyond standard building code requirements.

Electrical Area Classification

Development of classification drawings for facilities with explosive atmospheres from vapors, gases, or combustible dust, specifying proper electrical equipment to prevent ignition.

Code Consulting & Compliance

Navigation of IBC, NFPA, and OSHA requirements ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions with overlapping industrial safety regulations.

NFPA 855 (BESS) Hazard Mitigation Analysis

Risk assessment for battery energy storage systems, evaluating thermal runaway scenarios and explosion hazards to ensure safe installation and operation.

Performance-Based Fire Protection Design

Alternative fire protection strategies supported by engineering analysis and fire modeling to address complex industrial hazards, unique processes, and conditions where prescriptive code requirements limit operations or efficiency.

Emerging Technologies

Fire protection consulting and engineering for facilities using new materials and processes where applicable codes and standards are still developing or require interpretation.

Industrial Fire Protection Complications We Solve

  • Unique industrial hazards including combustible dust and specialized manufacturing risks that prescriptive codes don't address, requiring expert analysis and custom solutions
  • Code gaps for new technologies where battery manufacturing, energy storage systems, and emerging industrial processes outpace code development, demanding engineering judgment
  • Operational continuity demands where fire protection systems must integrate with production processes without causing unnecessary shutdowns or false alarms
  • Hazardous material complexities requiring classification, inventory management, and enhanced protection for flammable chemicals and reactive substances
  • Complex building layouts with interconnected processes, equipment access requirements, and space constraints that challenge traditional fire protection approaches
  • Regulatory coordination involving OSHA, EPA, and AHJs with overlapping jurisdiction over industrial safety requirements
  • Equipment protection needs balancing personnel safety with protection of expensive manufacturing equipment and production capabilities

Field-Tested Solutions

Our manufacturing fire protection expertise has helped industrial facilities across the country achieve comprehensive safety compliance while maintaining efficient production operations and protecting critical manufacturing processes.
