FireSim - Digital solutions

Assess fire risk, smarter

Fire engineering is so much more than prescriptive guidance. It offers protection to a building, its occupants and the surrounding community. And it begins with a fire risk assessment.

Complete yours smarter with FireSim. It’s a one-stop solution that brings together trusted computational models to simulate fire risk according to your unique site and surrounding environment.

ONE COMPLETE SOLUTION

Instead of piecing together results yourself from multiple models, FireSim integrates trusted industry tools to produce models of any potential situation.

BUILT FOR EFFICIENCY

Conventional tools for fire assessments are often complex and time-consuming. FireSim’s automated process and features cut through these inefficiencies.

TRUSTED EXPERTISE

FireSim leverages the acumen and insight of our world-class experts in fire engineering. We have decades of experience shaping a world safer from fire.

Features

Key Features

Adapted simulation tools you can use

FireSim provides a complete solution that integrates trusted tools for fire risk assessments, from intermediate two-zone fire models and full CFD simulations to simple spreadsheets. Choose the level of detail and complexity based on your scenario. FireSim offers you the tools you need, and none you don’t. In return, you get complete demonstration results and all the documentation to prove it.

Assessment criteria

FireSim delivers detailed analysis of fire development in a defined space, including:

Fire load collection and characterisation
Time dependent fire temperature curves
Heat fluxes relative to ventilation parameters
Analysis of the consequences on the installations
Characterisation of fire barriers and their ratings
Assessment and design of sprinkler installations
Optimum combination of safety measures

Simulations for installation

Once fire risks are identified, the challenge shifts to prevention and mitigation. FireSim delivers simulations for the installation of recommended technical solutions and the execution of procedural ones too. Models are based on standards for operational health and safety in your environment.
