Fire Engineering

Fire Engineering is still a relatively young discipline and one which we have been instrumental in driving. We want to continue to drive the industry through knowledge and innovation, making the world a better, safer place. We follow the five stages of the Fire Engineering Process as set out by the International Fire Engineering Guidelines 2005 (IFEG, 2005). The preparation of the Fire Engineering Brief (FEB) forms the basis of the Fire Engineering Process by clearly outlining the non-compliance issues to be resolved and potential fire engineering solutions. We organise meetings with the relevant stakeholders to discuss the FEB and seek their input. This ensures a transparent and facilitative process where all parties have an opportunity to raise and discuss their concerns. We use several software for conducting the analysis and based on analysis, results are evaluated and conclusions drawn. The Fire Engineering Report (FER) is prepared for review and approval by the relevant stakeholders. The stakeholders are encouraged to provide an agreement in principle to the FER upon which a final version is submitted to the Building Certifier for building approval. This completes the Fire Engineering Process.
