Smoke Management System

VECTEX Safe Technical Services for Smoke management /control engineering systems including passive smoke compartmentation, shaft/zone pressurization, atrium/floor smoke exhaust, and post-fire smoke purge.

VECTEX has extensive experience in specifying engineered smoke control systems for complex building environments with an in-depth understanding of the underlying fire science and human behavior.

VECTEX utilizes state-of-the-art modeling tools to simulate smoke development and human evacuation while working closely with clients on control system consulting to develop cost-effective smoke control engineering solutions that enable a higher level of architectural design freedom.

The primary objective of a smoke control system is to maintain a tenable environment for a sufficient amount of time to allow safe egress of building occupants. Secondary objectives are to minimize property damage and business interruption. There are various performance objectives that must be evaluated and require expert analysis for a properly designed smoke control system.

VECTEX Smoke control and fire protection engineers are ready to help develop iconic buildings that stretch the limits of conventional design.

VECTEX Smoke management and fire protection engineers focus on the impact of these variables through the performance-based design process, which then aides in achieving the architectural features that often violate prescriptive code requirements.
