Alternatives and Fire Modeling

While not dismissing the importance of codes and standards, Poole Fire Protection’s knowledgeable professionals do not overlook the possibility of implementing alternative methods of design and construction.  These engineered alternatives provide clients with an equivalent level of protection and may reduce costs.

Computer modeling verifies the use of active and passive fire protection features.  This technology can also confirm life safety design criteria and building occupant egress times.  The programs assist with validating alternative designs, materials and engineering concepts.
