• Evaluate existing designs and documentation to ensure they protect life and property, align with codes, and meet performance objectives.
• Review design drawings, individual components, and contractor shop drawings.
• Liaise with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to understand expectations.
• Assist in securing AHJ approval, addressing building and fire code issues throughout the project.

• Conduct facility investigations to identify code deficiencies.
• Propose feasible solutions with total project costs for code compliance.
• Provide detailed reports to aid decision-making.
• Expertise in building codes, fire codes, Life Safety Codes, and Performance-Based Codes.

• Evaluate means of egress, required egress times, stairwell pressurization, fire notification systems, building service, and fire protection equipment.
• Assess smoke control measures.
• Perform Life Safety Assessments for new or existing buildings.
• Develop customized, cost-effective solutions using performance-based designs aligned with governing codes.

REC Fire’s expertise streamlines regulatory compliance, reduces delays, cuts costs, and expedites construction processes for enhanced fire safety in any facility.

All piping design will utilize CAD software  to create construction drawings. Hydraulic calculation software will be utilized to ensure water demand can be met. Most facilities will require a flow test to determine water availability and Shaver Fire can arrange and organize the flow test to be conducted and present the data to the Client so the Client will have one less task to perform. We will provide a design for water supply and sprinkler piping design uniquely tailored to each Client’s facility. Water is the most common fire extinguishing agent used because of it’s exceptional cooling characteristics, relatively cheap, and wide availability.

• Fire Pumps
• Sprinkler Suppression and piping systems (automatic, dry pipe, pre-action, deluge, double-interlock)
• Fire Hydrants and piping
• Firewater Storage Tanks

REC  has designed many water-based fire suppression systems that included replacing existing fire pumps or adding new fire pumps to existing facilities. We have worked and have good relationships with many Fire Pump Vendors. These current relationships will help minimize capital costs and aid in testing and Commissioning process. 

Whether your facility is a campus or a single building REC can perform a total facility investigation and identify each hazard, where each hazard is located, and the best solution to protect Life & Property from each specific hazard.  

Hazard & Fire Risk Assessments are essential into gaining insight into and characterizing fire-related risks to better inform the wide range of decisions that should be made concerning a building, facility, or process as part of the design, construction, and operation.

• Educates personnel and management about the hazards in their facility
• Creates a more efficient environment for operations
• Uniquely addresses every hazard and how best to mitigate any damage created by that hazard.

A Hazard & Fire Risk Assessment gives each Client the information needed so they can make the best decision possible for their facility. Shaver Fire will implement a performance-based design where needed to create a more cost-effective solution while meeting the intent of the governing Codes and standards.
