Overview
Whitman completed the engineering design for several firehouses at various locations in New Jersey, detailed below.
Bayonne Firehouse – Bayonne, NJ
Whitman provided the MEP, fire protection engineering and IT design services for the new 15,000 ft2 firehouse facility with a parking lot. The building will consist of an apparatus room, watch room, kitchen, training room, study/living room, locker rooms, bathrooms, dormitories, exercise room, officers and ancillary spaces. As part of this new building design, Whitman designed the code-required fire alarm system for the new firehouse.
Englewood Firehouse – Englewood, NJ
Whitman provided professional engineering services for the new two-story firehouse facility located in Englewood. Specific services being provided by Whitman include the civil, structural, fire protection, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and special systems engineering design documents. As part of this new building design, Whitman designed the code-required fire alarm system for the new firehouse.
Milltown Firehouse – Milltown, NJ
Whitman provided MEP and fire protection engineering design services for a new two-story 12,600 ft2 firehouse facility located in Milltown. There are currently two firehouses in operation in Milltown that have structural issues and do not meet current codes and regulations for fire departments. The new building will be a consolidation of the two firehouses currently in operation and will have features such as a diesel exhaust system and special showers for the removal of hazardous materials. The new facility will be large enough to house three fire trucks.
