With mass movement of passengers, large open foyer compartments, mixed use environments including; retail, hospitality, offices and public assembly spaces, the key areas of life safety revolve around effective evacuation, and resilient compartmentation to resist the spread of fire.
Using engineering principles tailored towards achieving compliance with Part B of the Buildings Regulations, a comprehensive new fire strategy was produced with recommendations for each of the major sites primarily focussed upon fire separation.
The client required assurances of the effectiveness of fire separation and this was achieved by making engineering assessments using regulatory guidance. Further services included detailed fire risk management plans and reviews of passive fire protection installations.
