Smoke Venting and Controls
Practical solutions to smoke control and venting requires understanding combustion dynamics, the entire fire protection plan and mechanical systems and controls.
Smoke and explosion hazards require extensive knowledge of the project specifics and a plan to mitigate using a holistic approach to fire protection. A more effective smoke control system can result in proper application of identified real hazards.
- Smoke and explosion systems design and reviews
- Empirical and analytical design basis for use in mechanical, electrical and fire suppression systems designs
- Computer fire modeling to assist with anticipated smoke and fire plume behavior
