We protect people, property and the environment from the destructive effects of fire.
We can provide significant benefits when employed at the early stages of a building project, including a high level of fire safety, design flexibility and cost savings.
Using state-of-the-art software, we can
also model the spread of flame and smoke from the theoretical seat of a fire, and from this information develop appropriate evacuation strategies. Using the same information, we can calculate the impact of the fire on the property and the likely resulting extent of business disruption.
As a discipline, fire engineering can
achieve a number of important benefits. For example, it can help to reduce speed of flame spread on escape routes through the use of strategically-sited sprinklers. By defining the likely course of events following a fire outbreak, fire engineering can be used by building designers to optimise the quantity and positioning of fire protection equipment and systems.
