What EHR does

EHR S.A.S. is a Colombian fire protection engineering firm headquartered in Bogotá, founded in 1986 and operating under the commercial name EHR Ingeniería contra Incendios. The company designs, supplies, installs, tests, and commissions fire protection systems for industrial, commercial, and institutional projects across Colombia, with stated reach of 17M+ m² designed and constructed across 33 cities over 38+ years of continuous operation.

Its service portfolio is organized into three integrated categories: Active Fire Protection (eight systems including sprinklers under NFPA 13, pre-action systems, detection and alarm under NFPA 72, standpipe/hose systems, clean agent suppression, foam systems including PFAS-free formulations, water mist, and fire pump systems); Passive Fire Protection (fire-rated doors, fire stop seals, fire barriers, and full building compartmentalization); and Human Safety (evacuation routes, emergency lighting, emergency signage, and advanced evacuation engineering studies using computerized modeling and occupant simulation software). All work is executed under NFPA standards and the Colombian NSR-10 building code.

EHR's business model is project-based professional services with custom quote-driven pricing for enterprise clients, sourced through direct field sales, a professional website with quote request functionality, and direct WhatsApp and phone engagement. The firm maintains a small core engineering staff (11 direct employees per current data, with cumulative job creation of 500+ over company history) and serves a diversified roster of enterprise clients including major Colombian brands such as Mall Plaza, Banco de Bogotá, Sodimac, Universidad de los Andes, Hilton, Hyatt, and Decameron, spanning retail, banking, healthcare, education, hospitality, industrial, construction, and government sectors. Revenue, funding history, and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

EHR designs, supplies, installs, tests, and commissions integrated fire protection systems under NFPA and Colombian NSR-10 standards for industrial, commercial, and institutional projects across Colombia. Its offering spans active fire protection (sprinkler, pre-action, detection/alarm, hose, clean agent, foam, water mist, and fire pump systems), passive fire protection (fire-rated doors, fire stop seals, fire barriers, compartmentalization), and human safety services (evacuation routes, emergency lighting, signage, and engineering evacuation studies). Each engagement is delivered as a custom turnkey project with technical and economic proposal.

Product overview

EHR offers an integrated portfolio of fire protection engineering services organized into three main categories: Active Fire Protection (8 systems including sprinkler, pre-action, detection/alarm, hose, clean agent, foam, water mist, and fire pump systems), Passive Fire Protection (4 services including fire doors, fire seals, fire barriers, and compartmentalization), and Human Safety (4 services including evacuation routes, emergency lighting, emergency signage, and evacuation studies). The company designs, supplies, installs, tests, and commissions these systems under NFPA and NSR-10 Colombian standards for industrial, commercial, and institutional projects across Colombia.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Sprinkler Systems / Sistemas de Rociadores contra Incendios Automatic fire sprinkler systems designed and installed under NFPA 13 standards, providing optimal coverage and adequate discharge density for each risk class. Targeted at industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities in Colombia.
• Pre-action Systems / Sistemas de Preacción Pre-action sprinkler systems that maintain dry pipes until a validated alarm signal is received, reducing the probability of accidental discharges and providing additional security for high-value assets such as data rooms and sensitive equipment.
• Fire Detection and Alarm Systems / Sistemas de Detección y Alarma contra Incendios Fire detection and alarm systems that identify early signs of fire and emit timely alerts to enable rapid response, including zoning and real-time event localization.
• Fire Hose Systems / Sistemas de Mangueras contra Incendios Standpipe and hose systems designed to supply water with required flow and pressure at strategic points of a building, facilitating emergency brigade and fire department intervention.
• Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems / Agentes Limpios contra Incendios Clean agent fire suppression systems using chemical or inert gas agents to control fires through heat absorption or oxygen reduction without damaging electronic equipment or leaving residues, suited to data centers and banks.
• Foam Fire Suppression Systems / Sistemas de Espuma contra Incendios Foam fire suppression systems providing highly effective protection for risks associated with hydrocarbons, fuels, and flammable substances, with PFAS-free formulation options.
• Water Mist Systems / Sistemas de Agua Nebulizada Water mist systems using microscopic water droplets to control, suppress, or extinguish fires through intensive cooling, local oxygen displacement, and thermal radiation attenuation.
• Fire Pump Systems / Sistemas de Bombeo contra Incendios Fire pump systems serving as the critical component of water-based fire protection strategies, ensuring hydraulic performance and water supply with required flow and pressure.
• Fire-rated Doors / Puertas Cortafuego Fire-rated doors designed to preserve building compartmentalization and limit the propagation of fire, smoke, and hot gases between different fire sectors.
• Fire Stop Seals / Sellos Cortafuego Fire stop seals that preserve the continuity of fire-resistant barriers at points where mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and telecommunications installations penetrate walls and floors.
• Fire Barriers / Barreras Cortafuego Fire barriers designed to contain a fire within a determined area, limiting the propagation of fire, smoke, and hot gases to other building sectors.
• Fire Compartmentalization / Compartimentación contra Incendios Comprehensive fire compartmentalization strategy that controls fire, smoke, and heat propagation through building sectorization with defined fire resistance ratings.
• Evacuation Routes / Rutas de Evacuación Evacuation routes designed to ensure occupants can safely move from any building area to a protected zone or meeting point, integrating capacity, accessibility, signage, and emergency lighting criteria.
• Emergency Lighting / Iluminación de Emergencia Emergency lighting systems that provide minimum illumination levels in evacuation routes, stairs, corridors, assembly areas, and critical spaces when main power is unavailable.
• Emergency Signage / Señalización de Emergencia Emergency signage systems that provide clear, continuous, and easily identifiable information during evacuation regarding routes, exits, emergency equipment, and safe zones.
• Evacuation Studies / Estudios de Evacuación Advanced evacuation engineering studies using analytical models and specialized simulations to evaluate evacuation times, exit capacity, occupancy levels, and safety conditions during emergencies.
