WFT EngineeringWFT Engineering’s Fire Life Safety Engineering team ensures a building is designed, equipped, and maintained to safeguard people, property, and mission-critical operations. Our licensed Fire Protection Engineer has decades of experience developing code-compliant, performance-driven strategies that integrate the most advanced suppression, detection, and life safety technologies. From early hazard evaluations to third-party inspections, our team helps clients reduce risk and maintain a safe, fully compliant environment.
Our team plans and designs comprehensive fire suppression and alarm systems that deliver reliable detection, notification, and suppression to protect building occupants and critical assets.
Our experts provide detailed code analysis, interpretation and guidance to help your facility meet the latest life safety standards.
We offer independent oversight to maintain system readiness, safety, reliability, and compliance throughout the lifecycle of your building systems.
This discipline covers the design of fire suppression and alarm systems, life safety code analysis, hazard evaluations, special hazard protection, and third-party inspections to verify system performance and compliance.
We conduct a comprehensive hazard evaluation, review applicable building and fire codes, analyze occupancy types and risk levels, and design solutions, such as alarms, sprinklers, or special hazard protection, tailored to the building’s specific needs
A life safety code analysis evaluates how a building meets requirements for fire resistance, egress, detection, suppression, and overall occupant safety to ensure full code compliance.
This approach uses modeling, fire dynamics analysis, and risk assessments to create solutions that meet safety goals when prescriptive code requirements are not adequate or do not fully address a building’s unique features.
Third-party inspections provide independent verification that fire alarm, suppression, and life safety systems are installed correctly, fully functional, and compliant with code before occupancy or building turnover.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance (ITM) documentation is the detailed record of all inspections and performance tests conducted on a building’s fire protection systems to confirm ongoing compliance and system readiness.
A GSA pre-lease survey is required before leasing a facility to a federal agency to confirm that the building meets all applicable government fire and life safety standards.
