Warehouse & Storage Facilities

Comprehensive Fire Life Safety Solutions for Modern Storage Environments

​

Engineering Fire Protection (EFP) provides comprehensive fire protection engineering, life safety, and code consulting services for warehouse and storage occupancies — including high-pile rack storage, Pick modules, conveyors, and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). Our team delivers technically sound and code-compliant solutions that keep your facility safe, efficient, and operationally resilient.

We partner with warehouse owners, developers, architects, and tenants throughout the entire building and fire permit process — from early-stage planning and detailed design to permit submittals, AHJ coordination, and final inspections. Our goal is to simplify the path to compliance while maintaining performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

​

EFP’s engineers understand the complex fire protection challenges of high-density and mixed commodity storage, automated systems, and large-volume spaces. Leveraging our deep experience with the International Fire Code (IFC), FM Data Sheets, International Building Code (IBC), NFPA 13, and local fire agency requirements, we help clients achieve compliance with confidence — on schedule and without unnecessary delays.
