Fire Protection and Life Safety

Fire protection and life safety systems help to safeguard lives, protect property, and keep the community safe. HEAPY prioritizes understanding the unique needs and constraints of each project, from budgetary concerns to architectural nuances. Our solutions are designed to be both effective and economical, ensuring maximum value for our clients.

Our team comprises seasoned professionals with extensive experience in fire protection and life safety, staying abreast of the latest industry trends and technological advancements to provide cutting-edge solutions. From initial code consulting to final system commissioning, we offer end-to-end services that cover all aspects of fire protection and life safety.

Our multidisciplinary approach ensures all systems are integrated seamlessly within the overall building design, providing innovative, cost-effective solutions that address the diverse requirements of regulatory agencies and ensure code compliance.

Quality Where it Counts

When it comes to ensuring the safety of building occupants and protecting property and assets, quality is critical. To ensure that our designs meet the highest possible standards, HEAPY spent more than two years improving and standardizing our internal processes to achieve ISO Certification, creating a dedicated quality control and assurance program that is annually reviewed by a third-party auditor

Our team focuses on creating and sustaining a culture of communication, collaboration, and problem solving. High-quality design is achieved with a strong understanding of guidelines, checklists and a rigorous review process.

Unique Spaces = Unique Solutions

What sets HEAPY apart is our relentless pursuit of unique solutions that address the specific challenges faced by our clients, whether protecting priceless artifacts in a museum or ensuring safe storage of arms and munitions for the Department of Defense. Our fire suppression and life safety experts are also at the forefront of guiding clients through new and emerging needs in industrial, manufacturing, and mission critical spaces, such as providing guidance on lithium-ion, high-pile storage, which is not addressed by current codes and standards.

For instance, when working on the PNC Tower, we developed a fire suppression system that preserved the integrity of the historic ceiling, a solution that was both innovative and respectful of the building’s architectural heritage.

Similarly, at the John Glenn Internation Airport in Columbus, Ohio, our team engineered a cost-effective solution for the Oculus, a giant skylight, balancing aesthetics with safety.
