About K-Factor Engineering

K-Factor Engineering, LLC was founded by Kevin Hall, P.E., a fire protection engineer specializing in water-based fire protection systems and the codes and standards that govern their design and application.

Kevin brings extensive experience in sprinkler systems, standpipes, fire pumps, water supplies, and NFPA standards development. His work combines a detailed understanding of code and standard requirements with practical engineering judgment and real-world system design experience.

Through K-Factor Engineering, clients work directly with Kevin for specialized engineering, peer review, technical consulting, and complex code and standards questions requiring senior-level expertise.

The K-Factor name reflects both Kevin’s initials and one of the fundamentals of sprinkler system design—the discharge coefficient, or K-factor, that relates sprinkler flow to water pressure.
