Our challenge was to create a code compliant design for a
duplex and triplex apartment and a retail unit, whilst retaining the
architectural design ambitions of the client.
We created a high-level fire engineering solution to allow for an
open plan design to be incorporated into a building that exists on
multiple floors. We provided the client and building control
inspector with multiple options for a code compliant design,
whilst satisfying the client’s vision. The designs were altered
and discussed with all parties throughout the process to make
sure that the optimal solution was achieved.

CHELSEA BRIDGE WHARF
Kiwa Fire Safety Compliance were commissioned to support
Berkeley Homes in a number of roles throughout the
development of Chelsea Bridge Wharf. As a large and
progressive development there were a number of challenges to
ensure the buildings met regulatory requirements at each phase
of the project.
By working closely with the project and site managers we were
able to give the client access to our team’s vast array of
expertise – from intumescent seal product evaluations to site fire
safety strategies – providing them with the assurances required
to enable the project to proceed fluidly.
We were able to help Berkeley Homes to avoid the overengineering of services and avoid unnecessary overprovision of
systems through thorough assessment of the necessary fire
protection installations and design.

converted into predominantly residential accommodation. The
strategies included the use of residential sprinklers and bespoke
common area mechanical ventilation systems.

the proposed development with the design team in order to
achieve planning permission on the 23-storey four-core tower
and linked 6-storey blocks. The project also included a car park in
