Life safety testing is a vital part of keeping the system designed to protect the building occupants safe during a fire. Smoke and fire dampers are installed in fire rated walls to keep fire and smoke away from occupants while they exit the building. Stair pressurization fans are designed to keep the stairs pressurized with outside air so people have a safe route out of the building. Many systems are tested during the normal construction process. Fire personnel and local inspectors will often witness the proper function of these systems before a certificate of occupancy will be issued.
However, over time these systems can fail due to lack of use and improper maintenance. Our technicians are familiar with the systems used today and can assist in testing them to ensure they still work as designed.
Premier can also conduct smoke simulation to ensure the smoke evacuation fans will perform in an actual fire.
