Of all the responsibilities facing the property industry, keeping people safe from the dangers of fire and smoke is among the greatest. Part science and technology, part psychology, part management and law, this field requires rigorous mastery of all aspects of emergency planning, fire protection engineering, security system design and building and fire codes, while also ensuring clients realize their architectural vision and operational goals while meeting their responsibilities.
We believe that it is our purpose to provide protection of life through the design, installation, monitoring and service of fire suppression systems. Crosslink Fire Protection installations are protecting lives and property. We are proud to safeguard everything from homes to small businesses, commercial structures and government facilities. Properly installed and maintained automatic fire sprinkler systems help save lives. Because fire sprinkler systems react so quickly, they can dramatically reduce the heat, flames and smoke produced in a fire.
Fire safety cannot be understood in isolation and the combination of our global expertise and relationship with other Crosslink disciplines brings additional dimensions to our work providing an efficient project delivery model and bring commercial benefits for clients.
Given that fire engineers are responsible for the fire safety strategy of a project, our work informs the whole design team on fire safety matters. It provides design guidance to architects, advises the building services engineers on what systems are required, such as smoke ventilation, fire dampers, fire detection, smoke alarms, emergency lighting and sprinkler systems, and provides vital information to structural engineers on how long a structure must be protected and how that is achieved.
The fire strategy is also a key document used by authorities to base their decision on for approving the safety aspects of a building. One of the most important aspects of our work is to liaise with building authorities as a scheme develops to discuss fire safety aspects, demonstrate that the strategy is safe in different scenarios and eventually gain approval for a fire-safe building that also meets its aesthetic, functional and commercial objectives.
