A structured, risk managed approach to external walls
Our unique approach provides clients with a computed risk assessment of external wall designs and quantifies the impact of design changes to minimise risk exposure.
We have developed a thorough and robust approach to quantifying fire risks associated with external walls. Our software, which was developed in line with the guidance in PAS 9980, uses a hybrid deterministic / probabilistic approach that is underpinned by robust statistical data, fire engineering calculations and numerical modelling techniques. The risk of fire spread via the external wall is the summation of the individual scores for fire frequency, the configuration and make-up of the external walls, the buildings fire strategy, and the management procedures in place. The calculated risks are computed and assessed to determine their acceptability using a process that is akin to ALARP.
