Benefits of CFD in Fire Safety Design
We utilise sophisticated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling to predict the spread of smoke and heat during fires within built environments. This advanced simulation technique is instrumental in crafting detailed fire safety strategies and designing robust fire safety systems.
Predictive Analysis
CFD modeling helps us predict how smoke and heat will spread in a building during a fire. This helps plan safe evacuation routes along fire risks such as an atrium and design fire safety measures
Design Validation
Our engineers use CFD to check if fire protection system work as intended. By simulating various fire scenarios, including advanced smoke control operations, we ensure that systems perform optimally and meet performance criteria like visibility through smoke, temperatures, velocities but not limited to.
Regulatory Compliance
When an existing design does not fully align with standard design guidance documents, CFD modelling becomes an invaluable tool to demonstrate that the proposed design can still deliver safe conditions during both evacuation and firefighting phases. By accurately simulating fire scenarios, CFD modelling can validate that safety standards are maintained, even with unique design variations or challenges, providing both peace of mind and essential regulatory compliance.
Our CFD services support you in meeting the functional requirements of UK Building Regulations, including for designs featuring extended travel distances, atria, or those that necessitate mechanical smoke extraction systems. With CFD modelling, we can evaluate how these design elements interact within real-world conditions, allowing you to optimise safety without compromising on your architectural vision. Our experienced team is committed to helping ensure that your project meets the highest safety standards seamlessly, allowing for a smoother, more efficient route to regulatory approval.
Whether it is adapting to complex layouts, reducing space restrictions, or enhancing smoke management systems, we’re here to deliver CFD solutions that make regulatory compliance straightforward and reliable.
Cost-effectiveness
Optimise safety, space efficiency, and budget control with our specialised CFD services, crafted to address the specific demands of the built environment. Our CFD simulations are more than technical tools—they’re cost-effective solutions that provide crucial insights to enhance safety, improve system performance, and ensure full compliance with regulatory standards.
In projects where space is at a premium, such as high-density developments or complex architectural layouts, mechanical smoke control systems validated through CFD modelling offer significant benefits. By accurately simulating airflow, smoke dispersion, and heat dynamics, we can confirm that your smoke control system meets safety requirements without compromising on valuable space or layout flexibility. This approach allows for a more efficient use of space, giving your design the freedom to focus on optimising occupant experience, operational flow, or additional key features—all without sacrificing safety.
Our team of specialists employ the latest CFD technology to deliver precise, reliable simulations, ensuring that your design choices are both compliant and practical. The cost-effectiveness of CFD modelling extends beyond space savings, as it also helps streamline the approval process, saving you time and resources at every stage of the project.
