Maze Fire personnel developed the fire strategy for the new Royal Liverpool University hospital and the adjacent support building, podium and undercroft car park.
The hospital is a new 12-storey building providing a full range of hospital and patient care for the city. Maze Fire personnel involvement spanned the full design and construction phase and included CFD analysis of the main central atria to develop the criteria for the smoke extract system, development of the detailed fire strategy and ongoing assistance during construction.
The fire strategy for the hospital was developed in accordance with the Building Regulations, with reference to the relevant Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) guidance, along with detailed fire engineering principles for the CFD analysis, and other risk based approaches in the development of the strategy.
