Structural Fire Engineering
Structural fire engineering is a method used to predict how fire might affect different parts of a building. It looks at the likely fire conditions and assesses how they would impact the building's structure.
Ensuring Structural Resilience + Safety in Buildings
The fundamental principle of building fire safety is that the building’s structure must be sufficiently resilient to withstand the expected fire conditions. This resilience is essential to ensure that the building can support the safe and efficient evacuation of occupants, as well as facilitate the intervention activities of fire brigade personnel during an emergency. In addition to protecting the safety of people, it is equally important to consider the long-term protection of property and the continuity of business operations following a severe fire. This comprehensive approach to fire safety helps minimise risk, safeguard lives, and maintain the integrity and functionality of the building even in the event of a major fire.
Expert Structural Fire Engineering for Innovative Building Design
Structural fire engineering is essential for delivering innovative, cost-effective designs without compromising safety. Our extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of structural materials, including mass timber, concrete, steel, and composite structures, enable us to develop tailored solutions that demonstrate structural reliability under both fire and post-fire conditions.
Tailored Solutions for Cost Savings and Optimal Performance
We focus on potential cost-saving measures while achieving optimal performance. By leveraging a wide range of analytical tools including advanced finite element modelling with SaFir software, we can achieve the most efficient design solutions that reduce both upfront and long-term costs. Our detailed assessments optimise the required extent of applied fire protection and assist with design strategies, delivering significant value over the lifecycle of your project.
Structural Fire Engineering Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services, from initial guidance to detailed complex analyses, designed to meet the unique needs of projects across the Pacific. Our collaborative approach means we work closely with architects and structural engineers as well as regulatory authority to integrate fire safety seamlessly into your innovative building designs. Our services include:
- Structural fire engineering solutions for mass timber, concrete, steel, and composite structures.
- Analysis of the thermal and structural responses of building elements exposed to fire, including assessment of post-fire scenarios.
- Complex finite element modelling using advanced tools such as SAFIR.
- Coordination with fire testing laboratories to determine necessary testing or assessments for novel structural designs and connections.
