Fire Protection
Fire Protection plays a critical role in the safety measures applied to your facility operations. OLA’s team of Professional Engineers and Certified Fire Protection Specialists investigate potential risk factors to design solutions that protect your building and the people inside; life safety and property protection are a priority.
From system modifications, equipment replacements, and system reconfigurations, OLA ensures code compliancy and safety are integrated into the whole building design. Our comprehensive fire protection engineering services include: smoke management, sprinkler & standpipe systems, fire pumps, well water based sprinkler systems, pre-action systems, CO2 & dry chemical agents, and smoke & heat detection.
St. Joseph’s Catholic Church
OLA’s fire protection design provided a full sprinkler system for the new 800 seat church including a glycol-solution system for the church, and a wet-pipe water system for the rectory. For reliability and safety, a vertical fire pump was utilized in conjunction with a 10,000 gallon tank for the sprinkler systems. A 20,000 gallon tank was also installed for the site hydrant. All water was provided by an on-site well.
