Checklist for Fire Engineering Assessment (Singapore Chapter)

With the prevailing building codes and standards changing to address new technologies and market trends, existing buildings may be outdated or deemed to be non-compliant during the stage of upgrading. Innovative fire safety engineering designs for existing building designs are therefore required to ensure continuity and code compliance.   Through in-depth knowledge of prescriptive and […]

Useful Checklists

Performance-based Approach

Performance-based Approach + Fire Safety Designs Alternative Fire Safety Solution with Life Safety Criteria, Cost-effectiveness & Flexibility Performance-based approach offers an alternative approach that involves the use of fire engineering principles and science to protect occupants, properties and buildings from the destructive effects of fire and smoke instead of simply ensuring that it complies with […]

Engineered Smoke Control System

Engineered Smoke Control System + SHEVS Smoke Control saves Lives. SHEVS saves Lives. Engineered Smoke Control System (ESCS) or Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation System (SHEVS) ensures that smoke, heat and combustion gases can get out of the building from the moment the fire starts and is a means to limit the consequences of potential […]

Fire Engineering Assessment

Fire Engineering Assessment + Waiver Application Alternative approaches to address building modifications and compliance for fire safety Unlike full performance-based design submission process whereby Fire Engineering Design Brief (FEDB) and engagement of 3rd Party Peer Reviewer is necessary, Fire Engineering Assessment + Waiver Application is an alternative quicker waiver submission platform to address certain deviations […]

Fire Safety Audit

Fire Safety Audit + Fire Risk Assessment Expertise to interpret and apply building standards and codes to meet fire safety criteria Regardless of whether the project is a New Construction, Additions and Alterations, the building designs must comply to the prevailing fire codes with strict legislation governing fire safety. Our team of fire engineers will […]

Thermal Comfort

Thermal Comfort + CFD Modelling CFD Modelling to validate occupants’ thermal comfort profiles and buildings’ energy saving initiatives Thermal comfort for the human body is a psychological effect expressed as satisfaction with the thermal environment. Engineers have faced challenging tasks in designing HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) to achieve this level of thermal comfort […]

Mass Engineered Timber (MET)

Mass Engineered Timber (MET) + PB Approach Timber charring can achieve the same level of fire resistance as other building materials Mass Engineered Timber (MET) is a form of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) technology. DfMA allows construction processes to be completed offsite (in factory) for faster assembly and installation on site. Primarily manufactured […]

Evacuation Modelling

Evacuation Modelling + RSET Prediction of human movement for improved life safety compliance Different buildings have varying occupant loads and the exit capacities to suit the building purposes and configurations. Ideally, all buildings must be designed to allow people to manoeuvre freely at all times and evacuate rapidly with no congestion during an emergency fire […]

Tunnel Ventilation

Tunnel Ventilation + Fire & Smoke Modelling Fire & Smoke Modelling to validate Smoke Control Designs in tunnels Tunnels can be a complex interconnected network whereby a fire in the tunnels will pose highly hazardous conditions to passengers. Tunnel ventilation analysis requires a holistic approach to manage and control ambient air for normal operation and […]
