University of Texas - Fire Life Safety

Austin, Texas

Encotech was retained to provide Electrical Engineering design services for the University of Texas Fire Life Safety and Information Technology System Renovations project.  The project included electrical design for supporting:

• the extension of existing fire alarm systems in Parlin (PAR), Calhoun (CAL), and Homer Raney (HRH) Halls
• the upgrade of existing fire protection, fire alarm, and information technology systems in the Main Building (MAI)
• the expansion of the existing emergency electrical system in MAI

Extensive field work was required by Encotech to determine the extent, capacity, and condition of the existing emergency electrical distribution system within MAI and available branch circuits in PAR, CAL, and HRH.
