Fire Engineering Solutions

Fire engineering is a discipline that applies engineering principles and analytical methods to identify the requisite fire protection measures for a building. This is based on factors such as its size, use, occupancy, and location.

Therefore, it is a crucial element of any construction project and it’s vital to partner with specialists that provide solutions that balance fire safety and functionality.

Waratah Group is a trusted provider of comprehensive fire safety engineering services, catering to a diverse client base that includes architects, developers, building owners, designers, and builders.

Our services encompass the entire lifespan of a project, beginning with the conceptual design phase and continuing through stakeholder discussions during the Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) stage. We remain involved during the construction stage (CC or CDC stage), the occupation stage (OC stage), and even the maintenance stage.

Fire Engineering services of the highest standard

Our fire engineering team is equipped with a deep understanding of fire dynamics, structural engineering, heat and mass transfer and are qualified experts in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). We will ensure your project is completed to the highest levels, aligning to Australian/International standards.

Leveraging this knowledge and our practical experience, we strive to create innovative, cost-effective, and professional fire safety designs that meet both project and regulatory requirements. Our commitment to excellence ensures that your project is in safe hands.

If you are seeking assistance with compliance and safe designs, we ensure you will receive the best advice and construction knowledge that you will need to succeed with your project.

Reach out to our dedicated and certified Fire Engineer and support team to ensure all fire safety criteria is efficiently and effectively applied to your project.

Our extensive Fire Engineering services include:

Fire Engineering Concept Design providing the Fire Engineering Concept Report (FECR) or Fire Safety Schedule (FSS)
Performance-based design brief (PBDB)/fire engineering brief (FEB)/Fire engineering brief questionnaire (FEBQ)
Fire Engineering Report (FER) to justify performance solutions identified either by BCA consultants, principal certifier authority (PCA), fire safety engineers via desktop review or site inspections
Design Compliance Declaration (DCD) for Class 2, 3 and 9c buildings
Fire Engineering Report Peer Review
Fire Safety Engineering Inspection Report (FEIR)
Site inspection report during construction stage
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modelling to justify some performance solutions
Building Occupants Evacuation Time Modelling via Pathfinder or SFPE hydraulic flow modelling
Thermal Radiation Evaluation to justify the tenable condition for evacuants or firefighting personnel, or fire spread risk between buildings
Heat transfer analysis to justify the fire spread risk via the heat conduction via metal pipes or other wall/floor penetrations
CFAST zone model to assess the smoke depths or room ceiling temperatures for justifying some performance solutions.
