CGI INSURANCE BUSINESS SERVICES

CURIE funded CGI Engineering Services available.

Plan Review

Involving CGI in the specification process of a fire suppression system (e.g. sprinkler system) or, a fire detection system, (e.g. smoke and/or heat detectors), can prevent numerous future problems and expenses due to improper design or installation.

CGI will review sprinkler system or alarm system installation plans with regard to current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements as well as current Building and Fire Codes if required. A review prior to installation reduces the potential for improper installation or misunderstanding of the requirements for the installation of a fire suppression or fire detection system.

CGI will inspect the final installation of a sprinkler/alarm system as installed, and/or at critical stages prior to the installation of drywall or other construction material which may conceal the installation. CGI will also witness the final acceptance testing on behalf of, or in conjunction with the University.

University Water Supply Surveys for New Construction and Renovation Projects

CGI will conduct surveys and assess the available water supply by conducting hydrant flow tests and an analysis of the water supply grid system for a University campus with respect to fire flow requirements for fire suppression systems.

Chemical Labs and Storage Reviews

CGI will conduct surveys to identify and assess the University's operation with regard to chemicals, their storage, handling and disposal to reduce possible exposures to University employees, students and the public in general. This is always done in complete co-operation with the individual University and can involve the entire campus or an individual building operation.

Customized Loss Prevention Work

CGI is available to work with an individual University with regard to reviewing and assessing specific, non-maintenance areas of concern at a particular University including sprinkler plans and drawings. This type of work must receive approval for funding from CURIE prior to proceeding.
