Structural Fire Engineering

We provide specialist structural fire engineering services to assess and design structural systems exposed to fire, ensuring required fire resistance performance is achieved in accordance with project and regulatory requirements. Through performance-based design, we develop solutions that optimise fire protection, reduce unnecessary conservatism, and deliver cost-effective outcomes.

Our capabilities include the assessment of structural elements and systems under fire conditions, considering both thermal and mechanical response. We work across a range of structural forms and materials, including steel, concrete, composite, and timber construction, supporting both conventional and modern methods of construction.

Using advanced engineering methods, including finite element heat transfer and structural analysis, we evaluate the behaviour of members, systems, and entire structures under fire exposure. This enables the development of robust, project-specific design solutions.

We also support manufacturers in the development of fire-rated systems by providing structural fire design input and specifications as part of fire testing and assessment programs. This ensures systems are capable of maintaining structural adequacy in accordance with relevant standards and are technically robust for certification and market application.
