Understanding the dynamics of smoke movement during a fire is essential for developing effective fire safety and evacuation strategies. At Advanced Safety Solutions, we offer Smoke Modelling services using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to predict the behavior, accumulation, and spread of smoke in a building during various fire scenarios.
Key Benefits of Our Smoke Modelling Services:
1. Simulation of Realistic Fire Scenarios
By replicating multiple fire conditions, our engineers can analyze how smoke will behave in complex architectural spaces. This includes evaluating how smoke may travel through stairwells, corridors, lobbies, atria, and other critical zones.
2. Optimization of Smoke Control Systems
We assess the performance of existing or proposed smoke extraction and ventilation systems, including fans, vents, smoke curtains, and pressure differentials, ensuring that these systems maintain tenable conditions for evacuation and assist fire services during response.
3. Enhanced Life Safety and Evacuation Planning
Our modelling identifies potential visibility hazards and toxic smoke accumulation, providing data that supports the design of safe egress routes, emergency lighting, and strategic placement of smoke detectors and alarms.
4. Visual and Analytical Insights
Clients receive clear 2D/3D visual outputs and performance metrics to aid in understanding smoke propagation. These insights guide informed decisions on material selection, layout modifications, and improvements to life safety systems.
5. Regulatory Compliance and Approvals
Smoke modelling plays a vital role in demonstrating compliance with fire safety codes and standards, including NFPA, BS, and local authority regulations. It is especially useful in complex or high-occupancy buildings where prescriptive codes may not fully address smoke behavior.
With extensive experience in fire dynamics and simulation tools, Advanced Safety Solutions provides smoke modelling services that elevate safety design to a higher standard. Our work supports the creation of safer buildings, enables data-driven engineering decisions, and ensures regulatory readiness in line with modern fire protection expectations.
