Fire Risk Engineering Solutions
A significant requirement of modern day building standards is for every building to comply with minimum standards of fire safety, therefore, every building must have a suitable fire safety strategy, without one it is unlikely to be given a building warrant.
Where a building departs from the norm and the requirements of the local building codes cannot be met, then an engineered solution is required, these engineered solutions need to demonstrate that the fire risk strategy for the building is at least equivalent to the requirements of the local building code. Only where this can be demonstrated will the building secure the approval of the regulatory authorities.
Gartcarron Fire Engineering can provide innovative fire risk engineering solutions to meet these requirements. To do this we understanding our clients' needs and devise fire risk solutions that meet their aspirations and not just identify problems.
Our services include: -
· Designing suitable Means of Escape
· Fire Safety Strategies
· Modelling of Fire Growth and Smoke Movement
· Modelling Fire Resistance of Structures
· Comment on the Application of Requirements of Legislation to building designs,
· Expert Witnesses
· Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
· International coverage
As each fire risk engineering solution is a bespoke optimisation for the building, a suitable methodology will be chosen to ensure that tenability limits are not exceeded, prior to the last occupant leaving the building. These solutions may consist of multiple applications, fire supression systems i.e.: -
· Sprinklers,
· Systems for the removal of smoke from the building thus maintaining the escape routes safe to use.
· Smoke & Heat Exhaust Vents (SHEVs)
