Fire Protection & Life Safety

Fire Protection & Life Safety

In the building services industry, the term Fire Protection is often used to mean fire suppression. But fire protection, in fact, is the integration of suppression, detection, fire separation, smoke management, and alarm. Properly designed, these systems work together to protect life and property. No other system in building services requires such close coordination across so many disciplines.  Our engineers understand this interdependence and are experts at coordinating these  requirements.

We are experienced in the design of water based, gaseous, and foam fire suppression systems; fire alarm and emergency communication systems; as well as stair pressurization and smoke management systems.

“I do not know of another firm that will so rigorously analyze a problem, define it, make a plan to deal with it, and then follow-up by overseeing the resulting work and certifying that it has been correctly completed. I am also very pleased with the manner that you have represented the interests of St. Margaret’s House with the New York City agencies that monitor our building day by day. I am delighted to report that Collado Engineering has played a major role in keeping St. Margaret’s House and its 320 elderly and disabled residents safe and as problem free as possible.”
