FIRE SAFETY CONSTRUCTION SERVICES BY NASH

At Nash, we provide comprehensive fire safety construction solutions across the United States, protecting lives and property through expert fire protection system installations and code-compliant building designs. As licensed fire safety contractors, we specialize in fire-rated assemblies, emergency egress systems, and active fire suppression installations for commercial, industrial, and multi-family projects. Our integrated approach combines preconstruction fire safety planning with precision installations to deliver buildings that exceed NFPA standards and local fire codes.

The Critical Importance of Professional Fire Safety Systems

Modern construction demands life safety systems that actively prevent fire spread and facilitate safe evacuations. At Nash, we understand that effective fire protection construction requires compartmentalization strategies, proper material selections, and systems integration. Our team stays current with evolving International Fire Code (IFC) requirements, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) egress standards. Whether for high-rise buildings, healthcare facilities, or industrial plants, we implement defense-in-depth fire protection strategies tailored to each facility's unique risks and occupancy requirements.

Our Comprehensive Fire Safety Construction Process

Nash implements a rigorous fire protection installation methodology that ensures complete code compliance. We begin with fire safety gap analyses during design development to identify potential vulnerabilities. Our firestop specialists then coordinate with MEP trades to maintain fire barrier integrity throughout construction. The process includes fire-rated wall assemblies, smoke control system installations, and egress path verification before occupancy. We conduct third-party firestop inspections and system performance testing to validate all installations meet UL certification standards and manufacturer specifications.

Essential Components of Building Fire Protection Systems

Effective life safety construction incorporates both passive and active protection measures. Nash specializes in installing fire sprinkler systems (wet, dry, and pre-action), fire alarm and mass notification systems, and smoke evacuation systems. Our fireproofing contractors apply intumescent coatings to structural steel and construct fire-rated shaft enclosures for elevators and utilities. We implement fire-resistant glazing systems, fire door assemblies, and emergency lighting installations to complete comprehensive protection. All systems integrate with building automation systems for centralized monitoring and control.

Specialized Fire Safety Solutions by Sector

Different facilities demand tailored fire protection approaches. For healthcare construction, we implement hospital-grade fire barriers and defend-in-place strategies. High-rise projects require stairwell pressurization systems and firefighter elevator controls. Our industrial fire protection expertise includes flammable liquid storage solutions and explosion suppression systems. Residential projects benefit from our dwelling unit separation walls and corridor protection systems. Nash maintains specialized certifications for clean agent suppression systems, kitchen hood fire suppression, and hazardous material storage protections to address unique sector requirements.
