Fire + Suppression Systems Design
The earlier you involve a fire engineering design consultant in your project, the more innovative and cost-effective the fire safety solutions you’ll have at your disposal. Besides smooth collaboration that balances overall safety and the design vision, we also ensure a streamlined approval process.
Fire Protection Design Services Integral to Safety + Property Protection
Fire and life safety are pivotal considerations in today’s building designs. The integration of fire alarm systems, fire protection, life safety, and other fire protection systems into the design of all building types is essential for safety, property protection and code compliance. As leaders among fire and life safety consultants, we're actively involved in the development process for many of the fire protection system codes and standards. This knowledge and experience allow us to prepare accurate, cost-effective, state-of-the-art fire protection design and property systems.
Fire Safety Design
We produce fire safety designs that achieve the safety level required by local authorities and applicable legislative documents. Our approach is to develop a fire safety concept without obstacles to daily use. This is achieved through an intelligent combination of cost-efficient fire safety measures that allow a high level of safety.
Fire Systems Design
From smoke and heat extraction systems to evacuation procedures, we take a holistic approach to fire systems design, developing a safety concept for all potential fire scenarios. For one industrial client in their production facility, we mapped out the fire load and planned a performance-oriented smoke extraction system that ensured smoke-free passage for the fire service.
Evacuation Design
We offer clients a customised solution for evacuation design, including complex structures. Our advanced modelling helps to develop alternative solutions and determine evacuation times for representative scenarios via dynamic evacuation simulations. We provide an Evacuation Design Report with the results and analysis of these simulations. Videos of the simulations can also be provided to obtain optimal visualisation of the results
Providing and Designing the Right Active Fire Protection System
To ensure the most effective and appropriate fire protection system, our team of engineers specialises in designing Sprinklers, Water Mist Systems, Foam Systems, Automatic Gaseous Suppression Systems, and Oxygen Reduction Systems. As an independent consultancy, we provide objective and cost-effective solutions.
Fire Protection Systems
Our specialised team provides comprehensive fire protection design services that include the following systems:
- Sprinklers (Wet, Dry, Pre-action, Deluge, and In-rack)
- Hydrants
- Dry or Wet Risers
- Water Mist Systems
- Foam Systems
- Automatic Gaseous Suppression Systems
- Oxygen Reduction Systems
Sprinkler Design
Our team of experts provides design services for fire suppression systems such as sprinklers, gaseous, foam, hydrants, wet risers and mist systems from project inception through to the end of detailed design phase. We can start helping with estimating space allocation at early stage to the final design. When the prescriptive codes do not answer the need, performance-based design approach can be adopted with the involvement of our global experts. We can also carry out third party design reviews to ensure code compliance and cost efficiency for the designs developed by others. In addition, we can carry out detailed visual site visits to assess an existing fire suppression system (GAP analysis) for repurposing or upgrading to align with the process or layout changes at your site.
Fire Compartmentation Surveys
Compartmentation combines fire-resistant materials, fire doors, fire-stopping and cavity barriers to divide a structure into fire compartments to limit the passage of fire and smoke and allowing more time for occupants to evacuate buildings. Through comprehensive fire compartmentation surveys, our team can identify the most suitable fire solutions. We provide reports outlining conditions and adequacy of fire compartmentation measures along with best practice recommendations that align with building compliance requirements and business resilience objectives.
