Fire safety engineering plays a critical role in construction, ensuring that buildings are designed and constructed to minimize the risk of fire and its consequences, protect occupants and reduce the likelihood of property damage and business disruption. By integrating fire safety into the design and construction process, our fire safety engineers help create safer and more sustainable built environments.
The main aspects of our approach to fire safety include:
- Fire hazard analysis: Identifying potential fire hazards, assessing their likelihood, and assessing the potential consequences of a fire.
- Fire protection systems design and monitoring: Design and implementation of fire protection systems such as fire detection and alarm systems, automatic sprinkler systems and fire suppression systems.
- Building code compliance: Ensuring fire safety systems and strategies comply with relevant building codes, standards and codes.
- Evacuation planning: Developing and implementing evacuation plans to ensure occupants can safely exit a building in the event of a fire.
- Fire resistance design: Determining materials and construction methods that provide sufficient fire resistance to building components and structures.
- Fire compartments: Creation of fire compartments within a building to limit the spread of fire and smoke.
- Emergency response planning: Develop emergency fire response plans, including fire suppression, rescue, and fire recovery procedures.
- Fire risk assessment: Assessing the risk of fire and its consequences to determine the appropriate level of fire safety measures required.
- Fire investigation: Investigating the causes and origins of fires to identify potential improvements in fire safety design and management.
- Continuous improvement: Stay current with advances in fire safety technology and best practices to continually improve fire safety design and management.
Using best practices and the latest fire engineering technologies, we develop innovative fire safety solutions that meet our Clients’ requirements and are cost-effective and sustainable. Bringing cutting-edge knowledge and experience in all types of construction, we apply fire safety engineering to new construction as well as renovations or expansions of existing systems and structures.
