Testing
We are capable of passing all NDT requirements including X-ray, magnetic particle, dye penetrent, or simply a basic hydrostatic test. Our hydrostatic testing is done in accordance with ASME B31.3 or the project specification, whichever is more stringent. These tests are typically witnessed by an objective third party inspector.
Fire & Gas Panel Fabrication
DT has a UL508 electrical panel shop where Fire & Gas Control Panels are fabricated and assembled in an air conditioned environment. DT utilizes high quality electrical work practices and has the capability of providing UL 508 labeling on made-to-order control panels. Free standing or wall mount NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 7, or 12 enclosures can be provided for the desired controllers. We can also provide electrical equipment compliant with non-US electrical standards such as CENELEC.
Our panel shop personnel are experienced with numerous lines of electrical controls including Notifier, Siemens (Cerberus Pyrotronics), Detector Electronics, Zellweger (Sieger), Spectrex, Scott Bacharach, Draeger, Gastech, General Monitors, MSA, and Allen Bradley PLCs.
Our project management group is led by a Professional Engineer with seventeen years experience in the fire protection industry.
We utilize Project Teams to manage each project to ensure on-time delivery in accordance with the Project Specifications. Each team is led by a dedicated Project Manager who coordinates designers, drafters, and documentation specialists.
Our goal: On time delivery, best value, and full compliance with the project specification, while providing timely communication to the customer throughout the project cycle.
In addition, our Project Managers are factory trained and very experienced in all aspects of fire protection and life safety systems. We also test them to higher levels of NICET each year in order to constantly improve our Corporate IQ.

We have standardized on Microsoft ® Word and Excel, Microsoft ® Project, and AutoCAD ®. We also utilize THE ® Hydraulic calculation software, KYPipe hydraulic calculation software, Kidde FM200 cryogenic hydraulic software, Kidde FE-13 calculation software, Kidde CO2 calculation software, and Ansul Inergen software.
All projects are subject to the strict quality control program which follows the requirements of ISO 9001. Drawings are reviewed and approved for construction before any electrical or mechanical fabrication or assembly begins by a licensed P.E. and customer. A detailed shop traveler accompanies each set of drawings to complement the information provided on the drawings.
Quality checks are made throughout the design, fabrication, and testing processes verifying that each piece of equipment meets the specification. We welcome third party inspectors to double check our work. Our workmanship is guaranteed.
