Smoke control systems are among the most complex life safety systems in any building. They manage the movement of smoke during a fire — keeping exit paths clear, protecting occupants who shelter in place, and giving first responders the visibility they need. Because these systems integrate fans, dampers, building pressure, and the fire alarm system, they demand specialized testing expertise that most contractors simply don't have.
Powered Control Systems performs the periodic testing, inspection, and certification that smoke control systems require under NFPA 92 and International Building Code Section 909. From stairwell pressurization and atrium smoke exhaust to zoned smoke control and combination fire/smoke dampers, our team verifies that every component performs exactly as designed when it matters most.
PCS also provides predictive modeling based on our testing data — helping you anticipate component wear, budget for upcoming requirements, and avoid the surprise failures that lead to costly emergency service and failed inspections.
Our team performs full-spectrum operational testing, inspection, and certification of smoke control systems to NFPA 92 and IBC 909 requirements.
Atrium exhaust, stairwell pressurization, zoned control, elevator hoistway pressurization — we test the full range of smoke control configurations.
We compile analytics from prior inspections and have highly accurate predictive models that allow us to cut down on catastrophic failures, and help in budgeting to meet particular yearly inspection mandates.
Deep familiarity with Utah's adopted editions of NFPA 92, IBC Section 909, and the IFC means your system is tested and documented right the first time.
