Special Hazard Consultancy & System Support

FSG’s consultancy may begin with an initial site visit or a comprehensive hazard analysis to provide guidance ranging from one piece of equipment to multi-location buildings. Our global network of experts can help you understand the potential fire and explosion risks, review relevant codes and standards, strategize a mitigation plan, and deliver the findings into a comprehensive report that is ready to be put into action.

FSG has the added benefit of using the Fike Labs team and facilities to apply scientific research and performance-based testing in a controlled environment to uncover the specific hazards while validating a proper detection and protection system or risk-mitigation strategy. The new Fike Labs HQ located in Blue Springs, Missouri is a state-of-the-art 42,000 sq. ft. building that includes four large-scale battery fire test cells that can be reconfigured for commodity fire testing, as well as a large fire test cell that can be converted into a fire sprinkler test cell.

Once a protection strategy has been mutually determined, a thorough application design process may be required, especially for more complex system layouts. During this stage, manufacturer design guidelines, relevant codes and standards, and performance-based strategies are applied to the design of the system, all drafted in a CAD format. We also team directly with our strategic partners, distributors and integrators who may require assistance with system design or flow calculations with certain technologies they may not be as familiar with, such as the Fike DuraQuench Water Mist System or Fike Inert Gas System.

FSG can support your project from start to finish and ensure the job is completed reliably and with your business goals in mind. We have built global strategic partnerships with numerous engineering firms, trade contractors and OEMs, and we maintain a network of certified distributors, system integrators and technicians that complement the reach of Fike. We can ensure deadlines and budgets are met by managing onsite contractors, ordering and scheduling necessary equipment, working with local permits, performing final factory acceptance testing and much more.

Once a fire protection system is installed, the work has only just begun. You can rely on us to perform system startup, ongoing code-compliant inspections, any future maintenance, and finally all factory acceptance testing requirements.
