Fire, Smoke & Evacuation Modelling

We simulate how fire, smoke and people will actually behave in your building — so the design decision is based on evidence, not assumption.

02/When you need this
  • A performance solution relies on demonstrating tenable conditions during evacuation
  • Smoke management in an atrium, warehouse, carpark or large-volume space needs verification
  • Extended travel distances or a single exit require an ASET/RSET comparison
  • A stakeholder or peer reviewer has requested quantitative justification
02/What we do
  • 01Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) smoke modelling using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) with PyroSim
  • 02Design fire selection and justification based on occupancy, fuel load and system response
  • 03Tenability assessment — visibility, temperature, radiant heat and toxic species
  • 04Occupant evacuation modelling and hand-calculated egress analysis
  • 05ASET/RSET comparison with a documented safety margin
  • 06Zone modelling (CFAST) and hand calculations where a full CFD model isn't warranted
02/What you receive

Modelling report with input assumptions, geometry, boundary conditions and results

Visual outputs — slice files, isosurfaces, still renders and animations suitable for stakeholder presentations

Tenability results tabulated against agreed criteria

Model files retained and available for peer review interrogation
