New York City Fire Protection Engineering
Established in 2010 in Southern Nevada, TERPconsulting expanded its reach to the East Coast in 2022, opening a New York City office helmed by a team of industry veterans. Our NYC-licensed fire protection engineers and code consultants are proficient in design, third-party reviews, modeling, commissioning, and code consulting services in fire and life safety. We offer hands-on inspections, design reviews from a fire safety point of view, fire modeling, and assurance your project is up to code.
Our New York City team is led by Joseph Plati, PE, an industry veteran with nearly two decades of experience providing code consulting and smoke control analysis services in New York City and beyond. He chairs the ICC Working Group under the Codes and Standards Liaison (SCCSL) subcommittee of the SFPE Research, Tools & Methods (RTM) committee and is on the PE Exam Development subcommittee of the SFPE Professional Qualifications (CPQ) committee. Joseph is also a member of the Fire Protection Systems technical subcommittee for the NYC Buildings 2023 Code Revision Committee and serves on NFPA 909—Code for the Protection of Cultural Resource Properties – Museums, Libraries, and Places of Worship and NFPA 914—Code for the Protection of Historic Structures.
The FPEs in TERPconsulting’s NYC office are critical in implementing cutting-edge fire detection and suppression systems—meticulously designing smoke alarms and sprinkler systems to offer early warnings and swift responses during fire emergencies. When working alongside architects, building owners, and regulatory authorities, TERPconsulting’s expert code consultants offer an in-depth understanding of fire and building compliance with local, state, and federal codes and standards in diverse occupancies.
