OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

Performance-based analyses

Fire protection engineering performance-based design is a method of designing fire safety systems for buildings that considers the specific goals, scenarios, and alternatives for each project. We use engineering tools and criteria to evaluate the performance of different design options and to achieve acceptable levels of fire safety. This method has several advantages over prescriptive design, such as allowing more flexibility, innovation, and optimization of fire protection features.

Fire Protection System Design

One of the benefits of having a fire protection engineering firm such as YCI prepare fire protection system designs is that we can ensure that the designs meet the applicable codes, standards, and regulations for fire safety. We also optimize the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the fire protection systems. Furthermore, we provide guidance and recommendations for improving fire safety in existing structures or processes. By hiring YCI as your fire protection engineer, we can reduce the risk of fire losses and enhance the safety of occupants and property.

Expert Witness, and Insurance Claims and Litigation Support

Our fire protection engineers provide valuable insights and analysis in cases involving fire-related incidents. By applying their knowledge of fire science, codes and standards, and fire protection systems, we can help determine and evaluate the compliance and liability issues. We communicate our findings and opinions effectively to various audiences, such as insurance adjusters, attorneys, judges, and juries. Having a fire protection engineer as an expert witness can enhance the credibility and strength of your case and help you achieve a favorable outcome.

Alternative Code Compliance Solutions

Our fire protection engineers are experts in designing and implementing fire safety systems that meet the code requirements and the specific needs of the building occupants. By hiring us as your fire protection engineer, you benefit from our knowledge and experience in finding alternate means and methods to code compliance that are cost-effective, innovative, and tailored to your project. We can also help you navigate the approval process and ensure that your fire safety solutions are compliant with the relevant standards and regulations.
