Society’s acceptance of risks to people, business, property and the environment is continuously reducing. This makes minimising fire and safety risks on building projects increasingly important. Our fire engineering and safety risk management experts develop situation-specific strategies helping our customers to manage risks within budgetary constraints and limiting impact on the environment.

We use a design approach to fire engineering rather than starting with generic codes of practice. This design approach entails developing a situation-specific strategy, using statistics of real fires, analysis tools and studies of human behaviour. Our experience shows this can realise architectural vision and add value by reducing over-specification caused by conservative codes of practice.

Fire engineering combines a scientific knowledge of how fires start, spread, are contained and extinguished with knowledge of human behaviour to produce a fire strategy for a building. Within this field our services include:

• Potable Fire Extinguisher location.
• Design Basis report as per local statutory Norms.
• Layout with Hydrant points & Sprinkler system.
• P&ID, Pipe route Layout, Typical Accessories installation details.
• Technical Specification with inquiry documents.
• Tender documents with Bill of Quantity.
