Shaver Fire Engineering & Design, LLC

Total facility investigation - for a campus or single building - to determine whether life safety goals are satisfactory. Scope covers means of egress, required egress times, stairwell pressurization, fire notification systems, HVAC and fire protection equipment, and smoke control. Detailed reports and construction drawings are provided.

Total facility investigation to identify every hazard, its location, and the best approach to protect life and property from each specific risk. Assessments characterize fire-related risks across design, construction, and operational contexts, and incorporate performance-based solutions where they offer cost-effective compliance.

Water-based fire suppression system piping design using CAD and hydraulic calculation software. Services include flow-test coordination, sprinkler system design, fire pump evaluation and replacement, and full system redesign tailored to each facility.

• Automatic sprinkler system design
• Dry pipe sprinkler system design
• Pre-action sprinkler system design
• Deluge and double-interlock sprinkler systems
• Fire pump design and replacement
• Fire hydrant and firewater storage tank design

A fire-containment discipline that limits the spread of fire and smoke through structural protection and physical barriers - used standalone or alongside active suppression systems. Shaver Fire analyzes Model Code requirements to identify where passive measures can most effectively protect a facility.

• Structural Fire Protection

  Protects essential structural components such as structural steel from the thermal effects of fire.

• Compartmentation

  Physical barriers - including fire barriers, fire walls, firestopping materials, opening protection, and smoke barriers - that limit the spread of fire or smoke to the area of origin.

Total facility investigation to identify code deficiencies, provide feasible solutions with project costs, and deliver a detailed report supporting client decision-making. Coverage includes building and fire codes, life safety codes, and performance-based compliance pathways to reduce delays and expedite construction.

• Building and fire code consulting
• Life safety code consulting
• Performance-based code consulting

Engineering-based alternative to prescriptive code compliance, used to achieve design objectives that fall outside standard code pathways while meeting the intent of governing codes and standards.

Expert fire protection engineering analysis and documentation for legal proceedings.

Independent review of fire protection system designs and submittals for compliance and quality assurance.
