Fire Engineering and Management
Fire Engineering
Firewise base this on an understanding of the effects of fire and of the reaction and behaviour of people to fire by experience in the fire industry and professional qualifications with the aim to protect people, property and the environment from the effects of fire within comprehensive fire safety strategies .
Fire Engineering is the application of expert judgement and management, scientific and engineering principles.
Fire Engineering can have a positive impact on the design, construction, and occupation elements of a project and completion of fire safety strategies . Firewise discuss clients specifications to identify flexibility in designs which will support the creativity of the architect’s vision and management when occupied. Fire Engineering in most projects provides a building which is a higher standard of fire safety than standard code compliant designs with both financial and safety benefits. Our Fire Engineering and Design Strategy Reports enable internal design alterations, which can result in compensatory features resulting in a better solution for the client.
Performance based
Our fire engineers aim to support the client through the Building Regulation process with a consideration for costs, time scales and efficiency. The primary focus is on the client’s needs and vision, along with a safe and sustainable building for the future, including:
- Fire safety strategies
- Fire safety management plans
- Technical notes
- Computational fluid dynamics modelling [CFD]
- Smoke control design
All of our engineers are highly experienced in all aspects of building design in regards to fire safety along with being registered with the Institution of Fire Engineers [IFE]
