Joseph Hauf, vice president of engineering services at Conquest Firespray, and David Stacy, principal and founder of Performance Based Fire Protection Engineering, explore the top five life safety considerations engineers should consider when designing an arena.

Designing fire/egress modeling results is achievable via documenting, specifying, and following through on ISO- and ASTM-tested smoke control ductwork.

With the 2019 editions of NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 came the allowance for remote periodic testing of smoke and combination fire/smoke dampers. For building owners, this can mean significantly reduced costs and increased safety.

Dedicated to structural preservation, Cintec has always been an advocate for the restoration of safe buildings through fire-resistant anchors.
