Our fire protection engineering team designs life-safety systems that safeguard people, property, and performance. From service entrances and fire pumps to wet, dry, and preaction systems, every design is built for reliability and rapid response. We specialize in clean agent systems for sensitive environments and use advanced hydraulic modeling to ensure each system performs exactly as intended. Every project is approached with precision, compliance, and a commitment to safety at every level.
The fire service entrance is the critical gateway for your building’s life safety system. At Trivium, our engineers specialize in the design and coordination of dedicated fire service lines, ensuring a seamless transition from the municipal main to your internal suppression systems. We provide comprehensive hydraulic analysis to account for pressure drops across the Backflow Prevention Assembly, ensuring your system is fed with the optimal GPM and PSI. By managing the complexities of underground piping, thrust restraint, and valve pit design, we ensure your infrastructure meets both NFPA 24 and local utility standards.
Our mechanical engineering team specializes in the design, selection, and integration of high-performance fire pump systems. We don’t just install equipment; we engineer hydraulic solutions tailored to your facility’s specific demand curve. From calculating Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) to ensuring seamless controller integration, we provide end-to-end expertise in horizontal split-case, vertical inline, and vertical turbine configurations. Every system we deploy is optimized for peak reliability, ensuring that when the pressure is on, your life-safety infrastructure performs exactly as designed.
We provide comprehensive design and engineering services for Class I, II, and III standpipe systems. We specialize in the complex hydraulic calculations required for high-rise and large-footprint structures, ensuring that manual and automatic systems deliver the necessary flow rates and residual pressures at the most remote hose connections. By meticulously calculating friction loss and managing static pressure via sophisticated pressure-regulating valves (PRVs), our engineers ensure your building’s first line of defense is robust, reliable, and fully compliant with NFPA 14 standards.
For environments where accidental discharge is not an option, we offer precision-engineered preaction fire systems. We specialize in protecting high-value assets—from historical archives to sensitive electronics—by utilizing dry-pipe configurations that only transition to “wet” upon confirmed fire detection. Our engineering team handles everything from nitrogen inerting systems to prevent internal pipe corrosion to the complex sequencing of electric, pneumatic, and manual releases. Adhering strictly to NFPA 13 and NFPA 72 standards, we deliver systems that offer the perfect balance between fire suppression efficacy and accidental damage prevention.
Wet pipe systems remain the industry standard for reliable fire suppression, but at Trivium, we take “standard” further. Our mechanical engineers utilize advanced hydraulic modeling to design wet systems that maximize flow efficiency while minimizing material costs. By precisely calculating friction loss and system demand, we ensure your facility meets NFPA 13 requirements with surgical precision. Whether it’s a high-piled storage warehouse or a multi-family residential complex, our designs prioritize rapid response, simplified maintenance, and long-term structural integrity.
Protecting spaces prone to freezing requires more than just air in the pipes—it requires precision engineering. At Trivium, we design dry pipe systems that utilize pressurized air or nitrogen to hold water at bay until fire detection occurs. Our mechanical engineers focus on the critical physics of the “water delivery time,” ensuring that pipe volume, slope, and compressor sizing meet the strict 60-second delivery mandates of NFPA 13. We specialize in designing systems for parking structures, cold storage, and attic spaces where thermal fluctuations demand a robust, freeze-proof solution.
When water is as destructive as fire, Trivium provides advanced Clean Agent solutions designed for total flood protection with zero residue. Our mechanical engineers specialize in the design and calculation of gaseous suppression systems, such as FM-200™, that extinguish fires at the molecular level. By analyzing the unique enclosure integrity of your space, we ensure precise agent concentration and hold times to neutralize threats without damaging sensitive electronics or requiring post-discharge cleanup. We engineer systems that offer the ultimate balance of rapid suppression and business continuity.
