OUR SOLUTIONS
Fire Safety Engineering Consulting Solutions We Offer
Verification of fire alarm systems by local inspectors is not a given. Alarms must satisfy numerous requirements that differ among residential, commercial, and industrial structures.
Many components constitute effective fire prevention. Yet these fire protective devices are often installed at different times by different parties. MNA designs coordinate these parts, e.g., sprinklers, smoke dampers, and gas shut-offs, so they will act as one holistic structure to detect and suppress fire and smoke.
Mechanical barriers such as metal conduits and inside wall installations minimize fire damage to wiring and circuitry. The use of wire with its insulation complements fire protective devices.
Should a property owner or manager already have a system design in hand, the MNA fire protection engineer team can serve as a second set of eyes, discerning flaws, or vulnerabilities in advance of a permit application.
Depending on the size and purpose, many buildings, by law, must include specified fire prevention systems. Construction and occupancy permit applications must accordingly be submitted with reports on the performance of panels and various devices like smoke and heat detectors, strobes and horns, door-openers, sprinklers, and the like. We compile the necessary documentation.

OUR PROCESS
Fire Alarm System Consulting Services
A reliable and consistent fire alarm system design begins with a sequence of ordered steps.
This primary step is where MNA estimates financial and time investments. An orientation meeting is followed by an operational investigation and rudimentary sketches of the fire protection systems. We also allow advisory inputs from other consultants.
The next phase sees the client’s financial capacities and design preferences incorporated into our plans. In determining the feasibility of the project, we coordinate with other fire alarm consultants and arrange for the evaluation of any technician or engineer that the client may recommend.
Conceptual design refers to when MNA electrical engineers advise on the dimensions of the project as well as the total number of devices, and their locations. The standards for renderings, specifications, and outlines are settled at this stage as well.
At this stage, things pick up. MNA engineers consult with a wide array of other experts to work out the initial schemata, measurements, and materials. Furthermore, we consider alternative designs and commence the process of applying for a certificate from building code officials.
Here, many more elements of the design are specified and quantified on a floor plan that shows device locations, a list of zones, where the panel is situated, and construction specifications.
MNA advises clients on the correct and best ways to entertain and accept bids from fire alarm & fire suppression systems installation contractors. In addition, we aid in the preparation of contractual agreements with the successful bidder.
When the project is underway, we offer on-site services relative to construction meetings, shop drawing reviews, and code compliance oversight. We also report when a contractor is eligible to make a payment request.
