Core Fire Engineering Services

We offer a spectrum of specialist services tailored to your project's complexity and risk profile:

External Wall System (EWS1 / FRAEW)

We provide specialist appraisals and risk ratings for existing residential external wall systems (EWS). This expert evaluation is crucial for key processes such as building valuations, re-mortgaging, and identifying any necessary remediation work required on medium and high-rise blocks, ensuring material and life safety compliance.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Utilising advanced computer simulation, we model smoke movement, heat transfer, and tenability conditions to accurately predict fire behaviour and test the effectiveness of ventilation systems. Essential for complex and high-rise structures.Our Fire Engineers use CFD to model and validate critical fire safety systems and conditions across various scenarios.

Fire & Smoke Propagation Modelling

This advanced service encompasses both CFD and other analytical methods to predict the movement and behaviour of fire, smoke, and heat within a structure. This is essential for justifying complex smoke control designs, determining safe escape routes, and verifying system performance in large or unusual buildings.

Evacuation Modelling (People Movement Analysis)

Using sophisticated software, we simulate the movement of occupants during a fire incident. This people movement analysis verifies that all escape routes, stairwells, and assembly areas are adequately sized and configured to allow for safe, efficient evacuation within the required time, particularly crucial for large capacity venues, transport hubs, and tall buildings.

Thermal Bridging Analysis

We conduct detailed analysis to identify and assess thermal bridges (weak points in a building's thermal envelope). This service is critical for preventing heat loss, reducing condensation risk, and ensuring Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) compliance, contributing to overall building performance and fire safety integrity where thermal barriers are concerned.

Structural Fire Engineering

Through specialist analysis, we precisely determine the actual fire resistance required for critical structural elements. This often successfully demonstrates that less fire protection is needed than the typically prescribed guidance suggests, directly leading to verifiable and significant material and time and cost savings during the construction phase.

Our Approach to Fire Engineering

Our team provides comprehensive consultancy that integrates advanced fire modelling with practical, cost-effective design solutions. We work across all stages of a project, from concept planning through to detailed design and construction.

Why Choose Performance-Based Design?

For many modern or non-standard buildings (tall buildings, large public spaces, heritage sites, or complex mixed-use schemes), strict adherence to prescriptive codes can be impractical or limit architectural vision. Our performance-based approach allows us to:

Solve Complex Issues: Address unique fire safety challenges that standard guidance cannot cover.
Optimise Design: Justify alternative solutions, such as extended travel distances or reduced structural fire protection.
Achieve Cost Savings: Avoid unnecessary and expensive construction elements while maintaining or exceeding safety standards.
