Evacuation Modelling & People Movement Analysis

Advanced Evacuation Modelling & People Movement Analysis

Fire Engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles to protect people, property, and the environment from the destructive effects of fire. Understanding how people interact with a building during an emergency is critical to this process.

Simulating Real-World Scenarios

Using sophisticated software, we simulate the movement of occupants during a fire incident. This people movement analysis rigorously verifies that all escape routes, stairwells, and assembly areas are adequately sized and configured to allow for safe, efficient evacuation within the required time. It is an essential performance-based service for justifying designs that deviate from prescriptive codes.

Validating Safety with People Movement Analysis

Our team provides comprehensive consultancy that integrates advanced modelling with practical design solutions. By predicting occupant behaviour and movement, we ensure optimal safety and design flexibility for complex structures.

Verifying Escape Routes

Ensures that all corridors, stairwells, and final exits are adequately sized to handle the expected flow of occupants without dangerous bottlenecks.

Analysing Occupant Behaviour

Simulates realistic movement patterns and reaction times to accurately predict how long an evacuation will take under various emergency scenarios.

Optimising Complex Venues

Provides essential data to justify alternative fire safety solutions, preventing unnecessary and expensive construction elements.

When is Evacuation Modelling Essential?

While prescriptive guidance is sufficient for standard buildings, our performance-based approach is particularly crucial for structures where strict adherence to codes is impractical. Evacuation modelling is highly recommended for:

Large Capacity Venues: Stadia, arenas, and exhibition centres where managing high volumes of people is critical.
Transport Hubs: Airports and major train stations with complex layouts and continuous, varied occupant movement.
Tall Buildings: High-rise residential and commercial towers requiring phased or highly coordinated evacuation strategies.
Complex Mixed-Use Schemes: Developments combining retail, residential, and commercial spaces with shared escape routes.
