Fire Safety Engineering is the application of science and engineering to the protection of people, property and the environment from fire.
We develop inhouse Fire Engineering Solutions based on Fire Engineering principles including the use of the lastest Computer Modelling:

Smoke Movement:
Smoke modeling can be achieved by a variety of modeling tools, from simple empirical relationships to complex CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models.
The results are required for the sizing of natural and mechanical smoke ventilation and for estimating the tenability of the atmosphere along escape routes.

The most advanced and sophisticated fire modelling technique is the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to predict fire growth and compartment temperatures. CFD is capable of modelling fires in complex geometries with smoke movement in multi-compartments to a high degree of accuracy.

Structural Response:
Large-scale fire tests and observations of actual building fires have shown that the fire performance of real buildings is much better than expected compared to fire test data.
Recent research has shown that standard fire resistance requirements are typically over specifying the fire protection needed in practice. It is clear that there are large reserves of fire resistance in modern steel-framed buildings and that standard fire resistance tests do not provide a satisfactory indicator of the performance of such structures. It is possible to simulate the response of a structure fire in order to optimize the fire protection provided. This can result in significant cost savings.

Evacuation:
The movement of people in the event of fire or another emergency can be modelled. These models provide useful input in a Fire Engineering Analysis which can be used to optimise the provision of stairs and exits provided in a building. |
