A fire strategy is the way in which fire safety objectives for a new, altered, or existing building are defined and achieved.  This can be through code compliance, where the fundamental objectives of the applicable fire safety codes/regulations are achieved, or using equivalency or following fire engineering principles which can be justified through performance-based design.

What Should Your Fire Strategy Include?

A fire safety strategy should include:

• the means of warning and escape
• likely pathways of internal and external fire spread
• access and facilities for the fire service
• the fire safety management requirements for the building.

Our fire safety engineering capabilities enable us to perform engineering analyses throughout a building’s design. These techniques include:

• Computational Fluid Dynamics Smoke Modelling
• Finite Element Structural Fire Engineering
• Finite Element Heat Transfer Analysis
• Radiation Analysis
• Complex Evacuation Modelling
