The Triad Difference

There are times when a warehouse simply does not have one or more the fire protection features required for high piled storage code compliance.

As a friend to business, Triad Fire Consultants, Inc. provides strategies for code-compliance, yet is very empathetic to business needs and optimizes away from uneccessary “blanket upgrades”.

These upgrades may cost a business more than is necessary, but only saves the code consultant a small amount of time in comparison to the end-user’s cost.

We provided the following value-added features by default on all projects:

  • Deep attention to code language
  • Creative code interpretation opportunities
  • Creative solutions
  • Allied partnerships
  • Focus on cutting edge technology
  • Automatic optimization without being asked for it
