FIRE ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT

Fire Engineering Assessment (FEA) involves evaluating and designing systems, strategies, and measures to ensure the safety and protection of buildings, structures, and occupants from fire hazards. It encompasses a detailed analysis of fire risks, fire behavior, and the effectiveness of fire protection measures.

Key aspects of Fire Engineering Assessments typically include:

Fire Risk Analysis: Identifying potential fire hazards within a building or structure, assessing the likelihood of fire occurrence, and evaluating the potential consequences.

Fire Protection Systems: Evaluating the effectiveness of fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems such as sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and smoke control systems.

Building Design Considerations: Assessing the fire resistance of building materials, compartmentalization, escape routes, and access for firefighting personnel.

Evacuation Planning: Developing strategies for safe evacuation in the event of a fire, including emergency lighting, signage, and communication systems.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring compliance with local fire safety regulations, codes, and standards applicable to the specific building or structure.

Performance-Based Design: Utilizing engineering principles to propose alternative fire safety solutions that may deviate from prescriptive requirements while achieving an equivalent or better level of safety.

Simulation and Modeling: Using computer modeling and simulations to predict fire behavior, smoke movement, and the effectiveness of fire protection strategies.

OUR SCOPE OF WORK

We provide you with the latest performance-based design solutions and engineering best practices while helping to determine applicable codes and standards. We comply with the national codes and standards, engineering best practices, performance-based consulting, and fire & life safety audit criteria. Our team also specializes in construction and system investigation during the lifecycle of a building and assists in designing a go-forward plan and helps manage the upgrade.
