Performance Solutions
Performance Solutions
At SFC, we use our experience to provide you with a compliant solution that is more innovative, cost-effective, or more practical to construct.
The Deemed to Satisfy approach to providing a compliant fire engineering solution doesn’t work in every situation – at times it is physically impossible due to building restraints, or it may not align with architectural intent. In these instances, we assess the options against the Performance Requirements of the BCA and present you with an alternative. We ensure that the Performance Solution that we design works for your building, while at the same time ensuring that it maintains the required levels of safety and fire protection.
Fire Audits and Inspections
Fire Audits and Inspections
A range of fire systems work together to control a fire event in a building, either actively extinguishing a fire, or passively stopping the fire and smoke from spreading. Our Fire Safety audits examine the premises along with the relevant documents and assess the state of repair of the building’s fire safety and protection systems. We can provide you with an evaluation of the system’s ability to interface as originally intended, in line with current usage, along with recommendations for rectification.
Fire and Smoke Modelling
Fire and Smoke Modelling
A clear understanding of the way fire and smoke will behave in your building in a range of fire event scenarios is essential when determining an effective fire safety strategy. At Strategic Fire Consulting we use leading edge technology to produce simulations, which provide evidence-based support for selecting appropriate fire protection systems.
Human Movement Modelling
Human Movement Modelling
Although complex, human behaviour during a fire emergency can be modelled. An assessment of evacuation times is essential in designing an effective fire safety strategy, one that will allow an occupant to escape from a building in the event of a fire. We use a range of modelling methods to assess evacuation periods more accurately in more complicated scenarios such as large retail centres or high-rise buildings.
Fire Risk Assessments
Fire Risk Assessments
Fire Risk Assessments identify fire hazards, and the people at risk within your building. Once these risks are identified, they can be addressed. We work with you to identify fire safety methods and management policies that can be used to reduce and control these hazards.
