How do we protect people and their environments from the destructive effects of fire?
Fires and explosions are devasting events and can have far-reaching impacts on human health and safety as well as the environment. Ä¢¹½tv has unique insight into the nature of fires, explosions, and thermal events, and we provide rapid response for fire investigations. Our fire prevention and protection consultants routinely perform investigations of residential, industrial, and wildland fires, as well as fire protection system failures.
We combine our thermal consulting expertise of fires with the latest tools and technology, including 3D surveying tools, to conduct efficient, scientific investigations that objectively determine causes and root failures for all types of events occurring across industries, including transportation, construction, energy, chemicals, and consumer products.
With our deep knowledge of fire safety and explosions, we can help clients mitigate the risk of future explosions, fires, and thermal events and provide comprehensive evaluations of fire safety alarms and systems as well as fire safety codes analysis.
