Design
Our design/engineer technicians possess NICET certification and use the latest release of AUTO CAD design software utilities to generate working drawings for fabrication and installation of fire protection suppression, and alarm and detection systems. Our design staff has the capability of using your electronic or paper format to create drawings for system installation and archives. We can download your electronic information to be integrated into our design process. All design work is done in accordance with requirements of the appropriate codes as issued by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
IFP also has Building Information Modeling (BIM) design capabilities. BIM is Three Dimensional (3-D) modeling software that helps productivity for building design and construction.
Installation and Inspection
Proper installation and follow-up service and inspection of fire protection, suppression and alarm systems are the keys to a successful operation of the system if an emergency situation should arise. Our field and design employees are frequently adjusting and learning about the changes that occur in federal and state regulations and the requirements of the insurance industry.
We also maintain close contact with equipment manufacturers to allow you to take advantage of the latest available technology, new equipment and installation techniques.
Our field technicians, who install fire protection and suppression systems, must complete an intensive apprenticeship program where they learn the necessary skills while working with experienced employees. They become a Journeyman after five (5) years of on-the-job training, studying and lesson preparation in the apprenticeship program.
IFP stresses continued education and training with safety being our highest priority so that our customers will get the highest quality installation and service in the safest manner.
Service
When a system requires service, we realize quick response is important. That's why we maintain a large staff of specially trained service technicians who are on-call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Building Retrofit
With the ever changing codes and the heightened awareness for the need of fire protection, there has been a call for retrofitting existing occupied buildings. We will work closely with you to minimize disruptions with work schedules and tenants.
