Take a Fresh Look at Fire Design

Fire Engineering,

FDS Consult take a creative, innovative approach to fire design – we apply extensive fire engineering expertise, a solution-driven approach, an unparalleled understanding of the fire codes and a knowledge of fire and smoke behaviours to not only optimise life safety, but maximise available floor area, generate cost savings and align with the architectural vision for the building.

Fire engineering,approvals and Building regulations,

Fire approval is mandatory – we have the knowledge to not only meet and exceed safety standards to achieve approvals but can also work outside the code to achieve commercial objectives such as cost savings.

Fire Strategy

Expert fire design from a dedicated team to develop fire strategies using a value engineering approach to maximise space and minimise costs, you can be confident that our advice will be tailored to meet your requirements.

Fire Safety,

FDS Consult is able to offer you the best fire design solutions by ensuring we have the best fire design expertise on our team – we’ll work holistically with your building to find solutions that enhance fire safety whilst remaining true to its aesthetic vision.

Fire Design,

Our investment in advanced computer modelling techniques means that we can demonstrate how our proposed fire strategy will work in practice, enabling you to be more confident that a more flexible and less prescriptive approach to fire design will work for you. The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) creates a virtual model of a building and uses complex equations to calculate fire and smoke behaviours that we use to validate our strategies and designs.

Fire Management strategies ,

Following completion of a building, responsibility for managing its fire risk transfers to its management team and they need to have a comprehensive and coherent fire management strategy in place to maintain high levels of safety. We understand fire strategies for buildings therefore our expert can help building management teams to consider every element of the building’s ongoing fire safety, such as how evacuations will be carried out, what processes are in place to monitor visitor arrivals and what procedures have been devised to ensure that fire equipment is serviced and routine checks are documented.

RRO Risk Assessments,

Regular, thorough fire risk assessments not only ensure that buildings are being managed in a way that makes them as safe as they can be, they also protect the building’s management team from the threat of potential closure and prosecution under the Regulatory Reform Order (RRO). Assessing the fire risk in a building is about much more than running through a checklist of do’s and don’ts, it takes specialist expertise to review every aspect of a building.

Following the introduction of the Regulatory Reform Order (RRO) ‘every building which constitutes a place of work, including residential common areas, should have a fire risk assessment carried out to ensure adequate levels of fire safety are maintained’. FDS Consult has the expertise to consider fire behaviour and risk to provide practical and effective advice – whatever the size or type of the building. You can be confident that your fire management strategy will continue to deliver to RRO standards.
