The size and complexity of these structures make them challenging to mitigate fires, reduce smoke and fire impact, as well as evacuate occupants from every level. When a fire breaks out in a multi-level building, many complications arise regarding the safety of those inside. A thorough assessment of the plans for a building must be analysed and improved in order to meet code and establish fire safety within.
When a building is designed it must gain approval from governing bodies. This means that a building can not progress to development unless it meets the benchmarks associated with the size and purpose of the structure. From high rise apartment buildings to universities and hospitals, a specific set of guidelines must be met. To establish a successful design, a team of architects and engineers will work together to create design modifications to floorplans, material lists, and the building’s accessibility to create a wholistic design that meets the needs of the building, but also the safety requirements.
Fire Safety Engineering firms play an important role in the design and development of multi-level structures, paying close attention to various touchpoints throughout. Additionally, they are responsible for designing, installing, and maintaining fire safety systems, as well as evaluating the best preventive and protective measures. A building's materials must also be carefully scrutinised. Materials used in the construction of a building have a high impact on the safety of the building due to their ability to exacerbate the spread of fire - particularly on the outside of buildings. Cladding assessments are therefore essential, as these materials can dramatically impact not only the safety rating of the building, but also its aesthetic design. A fire safety engineer and an architect can work together to achieve aesthetic goals while maintaining compliance.
