Fire Engineering
Expert fire engineering consultancy providing innovative, performance-based fire safety solutions for complex buildings and challenging projects.
Performance-Based Fire Safety Design
Fire engineering goes beyond prescriptive compliance to deliver bespoke, performance-based fire safety solutions. By applying engineering principles and advanced analysis techniques, we can develop fire strategies that meet safety objectives while offering greater design flexibility.
Whether you’re working on a complex new development, refurbishing a historic building, or need to demonstrate compliance through alternative means, our fire engineering team provides the expertise and technical analysis to support your project.
Discuss Your ProjectOur Fire Engineering Services
Comprehensive fire engineering consultancy for projects of all sizes and complexity.
Fire Strategy Reports
Comprehensive fire strategy documents setting out the fire safety principles and provisions for your building, coordinating all fire safety measures into a cohesive strategy.
Fire Safety Design Consultancy
Expert guidance throughout the design process, working with architects and design teams to integrate fire safety requirements from concept to completion.
BS 9999 / BS 9991 Design
Design guidance and analysis using BS 9999 (non-residential) and BS 9991 (residential) to develop compliant and optimised fire safety solutions.
Compartmentation Surveys
Detailed surveys of fire compartmentation including fire doors, walls, floors and service penetrations to identify breaches and ensure fire separation integrity.
Fire Modelling & CFD Analysis
Advanced computational fire modelling and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis to simulate fire development, smoke spread and environmental conditions.
Means of Escape Design
Design and analysis of escape routes, travel distances, exit capacities and evacuation strategies to ensure safe egress for all building occupants.
Building Regulations Compliance
Expert advice on compliance with Building Regulations Approved Document B (England & Wales) and Technical Handbook Section 2 (Scotland).
Fire Engineered Solutions
Innovative, performance-based solutions for complex buildings where prescriptive guidance cannot be readily applied or where design flexibility is required.
Third Party Review
Independent review of fire engineering reports and fire strategies prepared by others, providing assurance and identifying any gaps or concerns.
Industry-Leading Software & Analysis
We utilise industry-leading fire engineering software to deliver accurate, evidence-based analysis that supports our fire safety recommendations and demonstrates compliance to building control and approving authorities.
Fire Development Modelling
Simulate fire growth, heat release rates, smoke production and temperature development to understand fire behaviour in your specific building.
Occupant Escape Analysis
Model evacuation scenarios to verify that occupants can safely escape before conditions become untenable, accounting for pre-movement times and walking speeds.
CFD Smoke Analysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling to visualise smoke movement, layer heights and visibility conditions throughout your building during a fire.
Advanced Computational Analysis
Our fire modelling capabilities allow us to demonstrate that safety objectives are met through quantitative analysis, supporting innovative design solutions and regulatory approval.
