FIRE ENGINEERING SERVICES

---

 Our Chartered Fire Engineer assesses the external wall fire spread in the building and provides a FRAEW report based on PAS9980. This risk-based approach can also be taken to recommend proportionate remediation work for the external walls of the existing building.

EWS1 form will be provided by highly qualified Chartered Fire Engineering (registered through IFE). Both A and B  options of the EWS1 form are covered in our scope. 

We provide a competitive PI for our external wall works and fire engineering services, but we can also facilitate government PI cover for the EWS1 form if it is requested by a client.

 We support clients throughout all RIBA stages. Our Chartered Fire Engineer will review the proposed plans and details to provide the best fire engineering advice for your scheme. We provide Gateway 1 -Fire Statement (as well as London plan - fire statement for development in the London area). A robust fire strategy report is developed to cover all fire aspects of your buildings with markup drawings.  Our support continues in RIBA stage 5 and we review the Regulation 38 Fire Safety Manual and provide a pre-occupational FRA before handover.

We also provide Retrospective Fire Strategy for existing buildings and assist clients to address fire safety issues in their buildings. 

 Our facade fire safety service will make sure the facade systems in the newly built or existing building are compliant with the UK Building Regulations and the best guidance. 

We support clients during facade remediations for existing buildings and provide progress monitoring site visits with ad-hoc consultations.

Our team is led by a chartered fire engineer with world-class experience in facade fire testing and cladding fire safety experience. This makes us a pioneer in this field and provides the best fire engineering solutions for various facade systems to ensure the life safety of the building occupants and reduce the cost of the project. 

 We provide all types of FRA including types 1 (visual, communal areas), 2 (intrusive, communal areas), 3 (visual, communal areas and flats) and 4 (intrusive, communal areas and flats). 

We provide compartmentation Surveys and fire door surveys for your buildings to check the building compartmentations and provide necessary recommendations to remediate the defected parts. 

 We provide CFD simulations and/or analytical calculations to support fire engineering solutions for complex projects. CFD is usually used to predict smoke and heat spread in buildings to account for Available Safe Egress Time (ASET).

Our team is led by a chartered fire engineer, who holds PhD in CFD modelling for jet fires in the built environment. Different CFD codes can be used to simulate the problem, including FDS and ANSYS FLUENT.

 When a second view is needed, our chartered fire engineer is more than happy to peer-review your work and provide the best advice in the industry.

We provide our third-party review service when a highly qualified chartered engineer is needed to review other fire professional work and provide a second or a third opinion. 

 Our chartered fire engineer will be happy to provide the best engineering judgment for complex details and complicated fire safety issues. 

 When a highly qualified chartered fire engineer is needed to be an expert witness, we will be more than happy to assist and provide our best advice. 

 We have an extensive research background and actively involve in many studies regarding fire safety in built environments. 

We have a unique experience with hydrogen/EV fire safety in the built environment. Therefore, we will be happy to provide our service in this fast-growing field.
