Our Approach
The fire safety engineering approach can be used to assess the performance of the
design in its context, deviating from the prescriptive non-contextual nature of
the standards and regulations. The safety measures are then achieved with meeting
business objectives without compromising safety over design.
We work with you at all stages of the project from inception, through design to
the operational fire safety management.
We have applied our expertise to support clients in the Defence, Nuclear, Marine,
Oil & Gas and Commercial industries.
Our engineers apply, when appropriate modern computer simulation techniques to resolve
conflicts with prescriptive standards and identify cost-effective solutions that
will satisfy the statutory bodies.
Utilisation and Tools
Our engineers have used fire safety engineering principles to:
- Increase the occupancy numbers and the size of compartments
- Omit the installation of sprinklers
- Extend travel distances for evacuating occupants
- Support the novel designs (i.e. Submarines, Atrium)
The above utilisation of fire safety engineering has been achieved using:
- Fire dynamics & analyses
- Structural response analysis
- Fire growth and fire spread simulations
- Smoke spread simulations
- Evacuation simulations
