Fire Safety and Risk Engineering
Through the provision of expert advice at the preliminary planning stage, through to the construction stage of a project, our consultants enable clients to identify fire safety issues and possible design problems that cannot be effectively addressed by adopting the prescriptive code requirements.
Prior to establishing Scientific Fire Services, our team of directors and consultants each gained more than 10 years experience working as fire safety engineers in a range of professional environments. As a result, our collective professional experience covers the full spectrum of building classifications.
Since establishing Scientific Fire Services, the team has drawn upon its previous professional experience to quickly establish a presence as one of the leading consultancy firms working in the field of fire safety engineering.
Typical Scientific Fire Services projects include fire safety engineering assessments of occupancies such as:
- Shopping centres and mega malls
- Hospitals and special care facilities
- High rise offices, hotels and apartment buildings
- Airport terminals, railway stations and car parks
- Residential construction projects
- Restaurants, cinemas and entertainment complexes
- Sports and entertainment venues
- Warehouses, industrial and manufacturing complexes, storage and distribution facilities
On a day-to-day basis, Scientific Fire Services advises clients on how to incorporate performance-based fire safety engineering solutions into designs
By drawing on sound principals of fire safety engineering, typical benefits of a performance-based approach to fire safety design include:
- Significant savings in overall construction costs
- A more rational approach to project design and development
- Revenue benefits through increased utilisation of floor area and facilities
- Maintained or enhanced life safety features
The breadth of high-level expertise at Scientific Fire Services covers all fields of fire science, risk assessment, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling and analysis and behavioural simulation modelling for evacuations.
