SERVICE/05

Warehouse, Storage & Industrial Fire Safety

Fire engineering for large-volume storage and industrial buildings, where the fire load — not just the floor plan — drives the solution.

05/When you need this

A warehouse or distribution centre exceeds DtS compartment size or requires a large-isolated-building solution
Racking height, storage arrangement or commodity classification affects sprinkler design criteria
Smoke and heat venting, or an alternative smoke management approach, requires justification
The facility stores dangerous goods, aerosols, plastics, lithium batteries or other high-hazard commodities
An insurer requires assessment against FM Global or similar loss-prevention standards
A tenant fit-out or change of storage arrangement invalidates the original fire strategy

05/What we do

01Commodity classification and storage arrangement review
02Sprinkler system design criteria — ESFR, in-rack and ceiling-only options, with design density and duration
03Fire compartmentation and separation strategy, including large isolated building assessment
04Smoke management and heat venting analysis, supported by CFD where required
05Egress analysis for large-volume, low-occupancy spaces
06Fire brigade access, hydrant coverage and water supply adequacy
07Dangerous goods and hazardous storage assessment
08Business interruption and asset protection advice above code minimum
