FIRE ENGINEERING DESIGN FOR NEW BUILDINGS AND PROJECTS
At the heart of every safe and functional building is a robust fire engineering strategy. Our fire engineering design services ensure that new developments are not only compliant with regulatory standards but also optimised for occupant safety and operational continuity.
We specialize in the design and integration of fire safety systems tailored to the unique characteristics of each building. Our approach combines advanced engineering principles with practical solutions to manage fire risks, facilitate safe evacuation, and protect property and lives.
WHAT WE DO
- Fire Strategy Development: We create comprehensive fire strategies that align with national and international standards such as BS 9999, BS 7974, and Approved Document B. These strategies guide the design and operation of fire safety systems throughout the building lifecycle.
- Means of Escape Design: Ensuring safe and efficient evacuation routes is paramount. We analyze occupant load, travel distances, and egress times to design escape paths that meet regulatory requirements and real-world needs.
- Smoke Control Systems: We design mechanical and natural smoke ventilation systems to maintain tenable conditions during evacuation and assist firefighting operations.
- Fire Detection and Alarm Systems: Our team specifies and integrates advanced detection and alarm technologies to ensure early warning and rapid response.
- Structural Fire Protection: We assess and specify passive fire protection measures, including fire-resistant materials and compartmentation, to maintain structural integrity during a fire.
- Fire Modelling and Risk Assessment: Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other modelling tools, we simulate fire scenarios to optimize design and validate safety measures.
- Regulatory Compliance and Approvals: We liaise with building control bodies and fire authorities to ensure all designs meet statutory requirements and gain necessary approvals.
