Services
Detailed Fire Strategy
Our performance-based fire strategies address specific building risks while meeting Approved Document B standards. We analyse means of escape, fire spread, and structural protection to create compliant solutions that maintain architectural design intent. This service includes comprehensive documentation for building regulations submissions.
CFD Modelling
We use computational fluid dynamics to model fire scenarios and smoke movement. This advanced analysis helps optimise escape routes, assess atrium safety, and validate fire engineering solutions for complex building designs through virtual simulations.
Means of Escape Review
Our team evaluates fire safety designs to ensure compliant evacuation routes. We calculate safe occupancy levels, identify design issues, and recommend solutions to guarantee effective means of escape for building occupants.
Third Party Review
We provide independent assessment of fire engineering documents and CFD models. Our experts review qualitative data, model parameters, and final reports to verify accuracy and compliance with fire safety regulations.
Gateway Two Fire Strategy
Specialist fire strategies for high-risk buildings comply with Gateway Two requirements. We address all fire safety aspects including warning systems, structural protection, and fire service access in documentation for Building Safety Regulator submissions.
