Fire Strategy and Compliances
The fire safety engineering approach assesses the performance of a building 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.
Through project support
We work with you at all stages of the project from inception, through design to
the operational fire safety management regime. Our engineers have successfully used
fire safety engineering principles to argue deviations from the best practices,
often saving our clients tens of thousands
How can fire engineering benefit your business
- Identify non-compliances to the building regulations
- Increase occupancy numbers
- Increase compartment size
- Agree justified non-compliances with rules
- Extend travel distances
- Support novel designs
- Reduce passive fire protection
Fire engineering techniques
The above achievements are a testament to our understanding and application of fundamental
fire safety engineering techniques, calculations and models, i.e.:
- Fire dynamics and analyses
- Structural response analysis
- Fire growth and fire spread simulations
- Smoke spread simulations
- Evacuation simulations
