The process involves a detailed evaluation of the unique aspects of a building or system design, considering both the intent of the fire and life safety codes and the specific objectives of the project. It’s about applying scientific principles and engineering knowledge to devise solutions that ensure safety while still fulfilling the design and functional requirements of a structure.
Engineering Judgments are significant because they provide a path forward in situations where the codes do not have a direct answer. This could involve innovative use of materials, unique design scenarios, or adapting to complex architectural features.
By offering Engineering Judgments, we assist architects, developers, and builders in achieving compliance with the spirit of safety codes even when the letter of the code doesn’t provide clear direction.
This service is not just about offering an expert opinion—it’s about taking responsibility for ensuring that the alternative solutions proposed are just as safe, if not safer, than the prescribed methods. It’s a balance of ingenuity and adherence to the ultimate goal of fire protection engineering: the safety and protection of life and property.
