Fire/Life Safety

Advances in fire and life safety systems in recent decades have significantly reduced risks in commercial buildings. Syska’s fire/life safety team makes sure that our clients benefit from these developments without sacrificing code compliance or cost efficiency. The team, which includes professional engineers as well as former firefighters, operates in multiple states and serves clients in the commercial, institutional, critical facilities, hospitality, higher-education, and governmental sectors.

We specialize in a wide range of building types, from historical landmarks to skyscrapers, and our designs encompass alarms, emergency responder radio systems, smoke detection, standpipe systems, smoke control, sprinklers, mass notification systems, extinguishers, and much more.  Specifications and guidelines differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but the overarching goal remains constant: to protect life and property at our clients’ buildings.
