Whilst we are a global organization, we take a local approach to each and every project and have in-depth knowledge and understanding of local building codes and fire engineering regulations. We use performance-based design principles where standard codes may not be suitable to demonstrate that an alternative approach will still meet the performance requirements.

EVACUATION ANALYSIS
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
ɠ Used to solve equations describing the fluid flow and heat transfer from the growth and spread of fire ɠ Predicts smoke and heat movement in buildings of any design, which influences means of escape planning and the design of passive and active fire systems ɠ We use the most advanced software and technology and employ experts who use their experience to create the most efficient fire strategy
ɠ We are able to offer a number of different options when it comes to assessing the evacuation strategy for a building ɠ We can use fire evacuation modelling to test your building design and to demonstrate that a fire safety strategy would work, as well as predicting movement under all conditions ɠ As well as standardized empirical modelling solutions we can also offer 3 dimensional (3D) fire evacuation modelling
ɠ Our expertise allows us to develop solutions for steel, timber, concrete and composite structures and prescribe required structural fire testing and fire assessments to achieve compliance for unique projects ɠ We can investigate site specific non-conformities to check their adequacy and propose any required rectifications ɠ We can examine the thermal behavior of structures and structural response of building elements exposed to fire – using finite element analysis or a structural design code(s) approach

Working collaboratively with key stakeholders is at the heart of how we operate from designers and architects, to planning and local authorities, contractors and developers, product manufacturers, right through to building owners and operators. This collaborative approach ensures we achieve a ‘right first time’ approach and the avoidance of possible remedial costs throughout the life of the building.
