We carry out Required Safe Egress Time (RSET) analysis using both
simplified methodologies (PD 7974-6) and detailed computer simulations.
Our company can prepare engineering analysis of the evacuation process.
Such analysis it typically performed to establish the Required Safe Egress Time
(RSET). For smaller and typical buildings simplified analysis can be performed
using methodologies described in codes and design guides (e.g. PD 7974-6). For
large complex geometries such as shopping centres, sports stadia, high-rise buildings
railway stations etc. we carry out
detailed computer simulations. The simulations are performed using specialist evacuation
software called Pathfinder.
Detailed CFD analysis including verification of the smoke removal system of the underground train station and a railway tunnel. Performing evacuation time analysis. Structura fire anaysis of the tunnel structure and steel structure of the skylights in the station.
Consultancy and design proposal at extention and modification of an existing office boulding in atrium area, smoke control system CFD and evacuation simulations including a performance examination of existing fire glazing system in fire conditions (performance based design)
Working jointly with Bakkala Consulting Engineers we have recently completed two studies of pedestrian flows in the vicinity of a proposed high-rise building in Dublin. In accordance with Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 such study is required for proposed landmark / tall buildings to demonstrate that they will not cause unacceptable overcrowding in the surrounding… Read More »Dublin – Pedestrian flow simulations
