Our specialist fire engineering team understands all issues associated with designing effective fire safety solutions in new and pre-existing buildings.
NDY avoids taking a prescriptive approach to fire protection. Prescriptive legal and regulatory requirements are often conservative and applied on a discrete systems basis. By adopting an all-encompassing approach, fire protection plans are fully integrated. This results in cost effective design solutions, both from capital cost and ongoing maintenance perspectives, which do not comprise life and property protection.
NDY works closely with architects and structural engineers at the early stages of a project. This ensures that building concepts are developed and presented to the relevant authorities prior to the completion of detailed designs.
We assess: fire ratings; smoke containment; egress provisions and travel distances; occupant behaviour in fire situations; fire detection and alarm systems; emergency warning systems; smoke hazard management; fire loads and fire brigade access.
We understand commercial, heritage and uniquely designed buildings. By considering the interaction of a building and its occupants and through the use of the latest computer software, NDY provides clients with customised and cost-effective solutions that satisfy all legislative requirements.
