FIRE PROTECTION

Schirmer Engineering specializes in fire protection engineering services including fire risk analysis, fire suppression and fire alarm system evaluation and design, computer-based analyses of fire and smoke behavior, and the development of fire protection system design drawings and specifications. Our fire protection engineers apply their knowledge of fire resistant construction, fire suppression and detection systems, human factors, and state-of-the-art computer fire and smoke modeling to solve complex fire and life safety concerns.
CODE CONSULTING

Our building code consults have over seven decades of experience in helping clients meet their architectural and operational goals. We are particularly adept at developing innovative solutions to resolve conflicts where multiple building codes and standards apply or where building codes, laws or ordinances conflict with design concepts or objectives.
RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk assessment is an important management tool for making critical decisions and, in some cases, meeting regulatory requirements. Risk assessment is a three-part process: identify the hazards and their causes, determine the consequences of the hazards and calculate the probability of their occurrence. We have proven risk assessment capabilities and the right resources to devote to large-scale Quantitative Risk Assessments. We have conducted risk analyses for leading companies in the process industry.
PROCESS SAFETY

Process safety involves every function of a company: research and development; engineering; construction; operations; maintenance; training; communication; and information management. Our team members have conducted industry best practice workshops, authored numerous books, including Center for Chemical Process Safety publications, and played key roles in the implementation of industry standards. A guiding force of process safety - our professionals can develop, conduct and assist in the implementation of all aspects of process safety programs.
SECURITY CONSULTING

Schirmer Engineering is a complete security solutions provider. Our security professionals have extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in state-of-the-art security technology and methodologies, translating into benefits our clients can appreciate such as minimizing change orders, reducing installation costs and proactively addressing client concerns before they become a problem, while maximizing security system interoperability, usability and expandability.
