Fire Safety Engineering

Fire Safety Engineers are people who are suitably qualified and experienced in fire safety engineering. They have a wide range of skills including the fundamental knowledge and experience of fire phenomena and its effects, as well as an understanding of how people, building structure and fire safety systems react to fire. Our Fire Safety Engineers are highly experienced and have an in-depth knowledge of fire safety design codes, national and international fire safety standards and fundamental fire engineering principles.

Chartered Engineers (practicing as fire engineers) are highly experienced people that are registered with the Engineering Council (as Chartered Engineers) and have demonstrated through assessment process (usually through the Institution of Fire Engineers) that they have the required level of education, experience and ability to practice as a Chartered Engineer.

Knowledge and Understanding

Our engineers apply their knowledge and understanding to a wide range of innovative building designs.

Total Fire Risk Management

When designing your building, our engineers will take into account the ‘total fire risk management package’.

Solutions & Strategies

Whether your requirements are for an individual fire safety engineered solution to a safety issue or your building design needs to be supported by a full fire engineered strategy, our engineers will work closely with all stakeholders (including regulators) to develop the most appropriate and cost-effective strategy whilst achieving overall project goals. Utilising the most advanced technology, expert fire engineering judgement and innovative thinking, here are some examples of the buildings and situations which we can provide solutions and strategies for:

External walls of buildings
Theatres and educational buildings
Timber construction projects
Structural fire engineering
Fire protection systems
Heritage structures

External Wall Safety Review

We work closely with landlords, investors, developers, estate management, surveyors, and local authorities to provide reliable and robust external wall reviews of buildings whether they fall into the definition of a ‘relevant building’ / ‘building in scope’ or not. Our Fire Safety Engineers (all of whom meet the professional body membership, registration and competence criteria requirements) will undertake fire safety assessments of the external wall construction to identify risks with the materials and systems which make up the external envelope of buildings. We can provide relevant advice, guidance, support and solutions where needed including:
