Providing unique multi-disciplinary engineering solutions
Appendix R Solutions provides fire protection, life safety, and risk management engineering services for critical infrastructure. It has extensive experience delivering fire protection engineering services to government and commercial sectors, including the power utility industry and highly protected risk industrial facilities. The practice offers analysis and solutions in risk management, safe shutdown analysis, fire probabilistic risk assessment, fire modeling, licensing support, code compliance, and classical fire protection. Its team includes degreed engineers across mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and nuclear disciplines.
Evaluates facility design bases to identify hazards, reduce risk, and document compliance with safety standards.
Utilizes predictive software such as FDS, Pyrosim, CFAST, and FDTs to analyze potential fire behavior and target impacts.
Develops comprehensive prevention, mitigation, detection, suppression, and containment plans, including monitoring schedules and system upgrades.
Conducts design reviews against NFPA, building codes, and other safety guidelines to ensure regulatory alignment.
Analyzes plant configurations and operational processes to maintain safety-critical operations and safe shutdown capability.
Conducts deterministic and performance-based analyses in accordance with standards like NEI 00-01 to ensure post-fire train functionality.
Performs risk-informed, performance-based assessments under standards such as NUREG/CR-6850.
Performs detailed analyses of electrical systems and as-built configurations to mitigate fire-induced faults.
