WHO WE HELP

Fire protection installs in Wheeling, WV

We partner with general contractors, construction managers, property managers, facility and safety teams, and owners across Ohio County and the WV Panhandle. Projects range from core and shell to tenant improvements, change-of-use retrofits, and phased work in occupied buildings near the riverfront, medical campuses, and logistics corridors.

We design, install, and retrofit fire protection systems, coordinate with other trades, manage permits and inspections, and deliver complete turnover packages. When schedules are tight, we phase work to keep areas open, pretest systems, and combine inspections to reduce repeat trips.

CITIES SERVED

Wheeling service area and nearby cities

For installation and retrofit projects in Wheeling, we plan work around real site conditions, bridge and highway traffic, and inspection workflows. Downtown routes include WesBanco Arena, the Capitol Theatre, the Intermodal Center, and Centre Market, where deliveries and crane picks require precise windows.

We support healthcare projects near WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital and campus work at Wheeling University, where labs and residence halls often require quiet hours, ICRA barriers, and documented pretests. Industrial scopes along the Ohio River, on Wheeling Island, and through Warwood and South Wheeling benefit from early planning for shutoffs, hydrant flows, and test header locations so production stays online. Retail and mixed-use sites in Elm Grove, Woodsdale, Bethlehem, and The Highlands near I-70 and I-470 require dust control, safe pedestrian paths, and tightly timed water windows.

We stage main drains, hydrant flows, and pump runs to avoid rush periods at the Fort Henry Bridge and the I-70/I-470 interchanges. Underground tie-ins and backflow approvals are coordinated with local water authorities, with locate tickets filed before excavation. Cold-weather phases include heat tracing checks, enclosure plans, and temporary heat for riser rooms so hydro tests and flushes stay on schedule. We manage AHJ submittals and inspections with local building and fire prevention teams and align pretest dates with the water authority to streamline acceptance.

HOW IT WORKS

What working with us looks like

Consult & Scope

We confirm system types, site contacts, and access details. When possible we combine services so you can add fire pump and backflow testing to the same appointment. We set a firm arrival window and offer after hours options on request.

Design & Submittals

We prepare drawings, hydraulic calculations, and cut sheets where required and submit for AHJ review. Coordination includes ceiling plans, mechanical conflicts, and penetrations. We respond to plan review comments with updates until approved.

Installation & Coordination

Union installers follow site safety rules and keep work areas clean. We coordinate with other trades, verify hangers and bracing, and phase work to match your schedule. Daily communication keeps the GC or owner updated.

Testing & Training

We conduct acceptance tests such as hydrostatic tests, main drain and flow tests, alarm function tests, and hood system checks. Your team receives simple training on valves, panels, and testing points before turnover.

Closeout & Warranty

You receive as built drawings, a basic operations and maintenance packet, and acceptance test results. We include a limited one year product warranty. If you want ongoing inspections, we set the first calendar.

Pricing and Quotes

Pricing is based on drawings or a site survey, device counts, equipment, and schedule requirements. You receive a written, itemized quote before work begins. Scope changes are documented through clear change orders.

Compliance & Documentation

Work follows applicable NFPA standards and local code. Reports, tags, and test records are prepared in formats your AHJ prefers. We attend inspections and help resolve comments quickly.

Scheduling and Lead Times

We plan around material availability and trade coordination. Control valves, heads, panels, and devices can have lead times. Early submittals reduce delays. Tell us your milestone dates and we will build the schedule backward.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you design and install or work from my engineer’s plans?

Both. We offer design build and plan and spec installation. We can also value engineer when the goal is a code compliant result with fewer delays.

Do you handle permits and AHJ inspections?

Yes. We prepare submittals, respond to plan review, schedule tests, and attend inspections until approval.

How long does a typical tenant improvement take?

Small suites can finish in one to two weeks once materials are on site. Larger spaces or complex occupancies take longer. We provide a schedule with milestones before work begins.
