From time to time, your firm or business may have a need for life safety and fire protection system design or consulting services. It makes sense to engage a firm that specializes exclusively in fire protection engineering. UFPE integrates with your design team to ensure that the desired life safety and fire protection objectives are identified and satisfied.
Building and fire codes prescribe fire protection systems for a variety of buildings and occupancies. There are literally hundreds of fire protection system design standards to choose from. Do YOU know where to start? UFPE specializes in fire protection system design to ensure you have the proper systems for the job. Fire protection system expertise includes water-based fire suppression, fire pumps, fire alarm and detection, emergency voice communication, and special hazard systems.
There is little doubt that municipal building and fire codes are now more complicated than ever. There are literally thousands of pages of prescriptive requirements that govern the design and construction of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. UFPE can help your design team navigate complex codes to help answer vital life safety and fire protection issues.
UFPE’s sole business specialty is fire protection engineering. UFPE works with engineers, architects, facility managers, contractors, code enforcers, and the fire service to develop fire protection solutions to sometimes difficult problems.
UFPE helps fire service leaders appreciate the science of compartment fire dynamics, water flow rates, fire service hydraulics, and the function of fixed building fire protection systems to develop pre-plans and standard operating procedures. UFPE understands the unique relationship between building design/construction and the fire service.

High-piled combustible storage, IT and server rooms, flammable and combustible liquids, and aircraft facilities are examples of situations that require unique fire protection consideration. Many times, “off the shelf” solutions are not available. UFPE is uniquely qualified to assess the fire hazard and provide options and recommendations for your consideration.
Many federal agencies (GSA, Army Corps of Engineers, and Air National Guard to name a few) require a qualified, licensed fire protection engineer to be involved on major construction and renovation projects. UFPE is fully qualified to meet the requirements of these agencies. This enables your firm or business to participate in these projects without incurring the burden of a full-time fire protection staff position.
UFPE involvement in a project is often limited to up-front scoping and development of fire protection concepts and design criteria for execution by your staff. If you need a more complete solution, full system design and construction phase services are also available.
