Fire Engineering Services Delivered by
Award-Winning Consultants and Engineers

Our Design Fire Safety Strategies provides a comprehensive plan for the design and construction teams to meet all fire safety requirements, including:

• Means of escape: Adequate means of escape must be provided for all occupants of the building. This includes providing enough exits, as well as ensuring that the exits are clearly marked and free from obstructions.
• Structural fire protection: The building's structure must be designed to resist fire for a period of time long enough to allow all occupants to evacuate safely. This can be achieved through the use of fire-resistant materials and construction techniques.
• Fire protection systems: Fire protection systems, such as sprinkler systems and fire alarms, can help to detect and extinguish fires early on. This can reduce the damage caused by fire and make it easier for occupants to evacuate safely.
• Smoke control: Smoke can be just as dangerous as fire, so it is important to have a smoke management strategy in place. 
• Fire department access: The fire and rescue service must be able to access the building and its occupants in the event of a fire. This means that the building should have adequate fire lanes and that the necessary firefighting facilities are provided.
• External fire spread: The fire safety strategy should also consider the risk of external fire spread. This includes identifying the potential sources of external fire, such as adjacent buildings or flammable materials, and taking steps to mitigate the risk.
