Healthcare
Fire suppression for hospitals and healthcare facilities, where continuous occupancy and water-sensitive clinical equipment shape every design decision.
3 systems we design5 codes & standardsRepresentative project
Overview
Healthcare facilities combine continuous, defend-in-place occupancy with water-sensitive clinical equipment and hazardous storage — a demanding environment for suppression design.
Systems must protect patients who cannot readily evacuate while coordinating with smoke compartmentation and commercial kitchen hazards, often in buildings that stay fully operational throughout construction.
Key considerations
Continuous occupancy and defend-in-place / smoke-compartment strategy. Operating rooms, imaging, and other water-sensitive equipment. Pharmacy, laboratory, and hazardous-materials storage. Commercial kitchen suppression. Phased construction in occupied, operating facilities.
