Since 1983, PLC Fire Safety Engineering (PLC) has been providing professional engineering services in fire and explosion protection and prevention to clients across Canada, the USA and internationally.
Offers a Variety of Services
PLC is a full-service engineering firm, operating in most sectors. PLC excels in the development of innovative, practical, and cost-effective solutions to meet the fire and life safety goals of clients across many sectors. PLC engineers are vigilant in strict adherence to the code of ethics and in delivering high-quality engineering solutions. Some of the services offered by PLC include:

PLC Fire Safety Engineering also works in most industries, a sample is shown in the table below.
| Industries served | Hazards addressed | Specific solutions |
| Transportation | Fire in transportation hubs, rail stations, airports | Design and implementation of various fire safety, drills, suppression, and smoke management systems |
| Oil & Gas l | Fire in gas and oil facilities, pipelines, refineries | Fire protection system design, hazard assessments, risk mitigation, emergency response planning, fire suppression, and explosion protection |
| Commercial, industrial, residential | Fire safety hazards in buildings and structures | Assessment of fire safety hazards, identification of potential risks, recommendations for improvements, fire drills, and training programs |
But since there is no one-size-fits-all with fire protection, they provide customized solutions too.
What this means is that each industry and facility has its own set of challenges. Therefore PLC works closely with its potential clients before they can recommend any fire protection solution.
They do this so as to have time to understand their client’s nature of work and which areas they need to prioritize.
For instance, a retirement facility for the elderly and disabled will have different fire protection systems compared to buildings that have an ambulatory demographic.
Expertise
The other reason PLC successfully provides clients with professional fire and explosion protection and prevention services internationally is its experienced engineers.
These engineers stay up to date with all fire-related regulations by participating in various organizations like:
- Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE)
- Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC)
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
- Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
Also, this has made it easy for PLC Fire Safety Engineering to venture into various industries and facilities like nuclear, transport, healthcare, industrial, petroleum and petrochemical, institutional, assembly, educational, commercial, residential, and heritage buildings.
