5 Winning Ways to Have a Successful Department of Defense Fire Protection Design: Do You Understand the DoD Criteria?

Presenters: Steve Dryden, Poole Fire Protection; Bruce Abell, US Army Corps of Engineers

To prepare a set of design documentation to deliver a project for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), all stakeholders — both from the DoD and from the private sector — must be familiar with the DoD’s criteria and how to apply them properly. This session is intended to assist these stakeholders in understanding what is required in any DoD project with respect to fire protection engineering, including the development of a design analysis. The hope is to put all stakeholders “on the same page” so that requirements and expectations are clearly identified and are consistent from project to project.
