Kiwa Fire Safety Compliance
Our fire safety engineering
services include high
level strategic advice
using detailed bespoke
engineering analysis,
Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) and
negotiating positive
outcomes for our clients
with approvals bodies.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Engineers at KFS are able to use leadingedge 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
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:
Structural Fire Engineering
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.
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.
