We offer assistance with performance-based design (PBD) solutions in the field of fire safety. We can provide comprehensive support to the responsible designer in establishing the engineering approach, in determining boundary conditions to performing simulations and fire tests.
Our services include:
PBD development: In the initial stages of the PBD engineering approach, we focus on developing a detailed plan. In this step, we identify and engage all relevant stakeholders, which includes interested groups such as investors, architects, engineers, authorities and other professionals. We are ready to lead and moderate a discussion on the objectives, requirements and direction of the overall PBD project.
PBD input data: When creating PBD boundary conditions, we identify potential fire risks and specific fire scenarios that need to be thoroughly investigated. Based on this analysis, we can help to specifically define the acceptance criteria, set their limits and specify the conditions that must be met to ensure safety. This phase includes both a theoretical assessment of the risks and practical steps to minimise them, thus ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to fire safety.
PBD outputs: Based on the evaluation of the boundary conditions and the established acceptability criteria, we are able to recommend optimal fire safety solutions according to the PBD. For data acquisition we are ready to perform analytical calculations, computer simulations of fire dynamics (zone models, CFD), computer simulations of people movement or various fire and evacuation tests.
