Engineers at KFS are able to use leading-edge technology in
order to incorporate Computational Modelling into our
assessment and design processes.
Using CFD we are able to very precisely calculate flow
speeds, pressures, behaviours and other characteristics that
enable us to model specific scenarios in a digitally created
environment. This allows us to determine how a fire in a
given scenario will develop without the need for expensive
physical tests.
Scientific data and analysis can be extrapolated into ‘what if’
models that can provide a true understanding of potential
risks and form the basis of recommendations that support
any engineering conclusions.
Fire Life Safety Systems
Structural Fire Engineering
We are specialists in the design, specification and
inspection of Fire Life Safety Systems and can advise on
the most effective use in any building type from high rise
buildings and commercial properties to heritage sites.
This includes:
In most types of buildings, it is necessary to ensure that
the core structure will remain in place for a reasonable
period during a fire.
•
Fire Detection Systems
•
Alarm / Warning Systems
•
Suppression Systems
Structural fire engineering is a technique used by KFS
engineers where the actual fire severity can be accurately
predicted for key locations within the building and precise
calculations carried out on the impact the fire has on each
element of structure.
Actionable advice can be used to identify and plan the best
and most effective solutions for the building, often
resulting in significant reductions in the amount of fire
protection that is required and major cost savings.
