Fire safety engineering, in its simplest terms, is about ensuring that people have enough time to escape from a building when there is a fire. To do this, we analyse the events that take place between a fire starting and occupants reaching a place of safety. Each fire engineering solution is specific to the building, and an assessment may include an analysis of:
Fire safety engineering ensures that people have enough time to safely evacuate a building in case of fire. This involves analyzing the sequence of events from the fire’s ignition to occupants reaching a safe location. Every fire engineering solution is tailored to the specific building and may include assessments of:
To support our analysis, we use advanced computer modeling tools. Whether addressing a minor increase in escape distances or designing the entire escape strategy for a large facility like a shopping center, our fire engineering solutions provide a customized approach to meet safety requirements and resolve complex challenges.
Traditionally buildings are designed to comply with standard fire codes. Even today this can be the best way to deal with a simple building.
For a larger, more complex building the standard codes will usually severely restrict the architects design freedom.
It may even result in a standard of safety that is lower than would be achieved using a fire engineering approach.
Where standard fire code guidance works using a ‘one size fits all’ solution, fire engineering takes account of factors such as human behaviour and the geometry of the specific building to provide a solution tailored to that project.
Many of the projects we have worked on over the years could not have been built to the project team’s vision without the use of fire engineering. Our Clients know that the work we carry out will give them a building that is both safe and designed to maximise efficiency and flexibility for use.
We are an independent consultancy and our experience and reputation means that the Approving Authorities know that they can rely on our expertise. Our tireless dedication to providing our Clients with the best possible solutions for their building has made us a leader in our field. Our technical work is the foundation to all of this.
ASEC do not use fire engineering analyses on all of our projects. A large proportion of our work simply involves our extensive knowledge of fire safety design codes, but having the ability to use fire engineering techniques when needed is extremely beneficial to our clients.
If you have a project where you believe expert support in fire engineering would be beneficial, or want to check whether fire engineering techniques could help resolve a particular problem, please contact us.
Ahmed Said Engineering Consultancy (ASEC) have unrivalled expertise in all areas of fire safety engineering and have extensive expertise in applying that knowledge in all types of buildings.
