CDF FIRE & SMOKE MODELING

Fire Safety Engineering (FSE)

For more than ten years, IDF has been dedicated to the art of Performance-based Fire Safety Engineering. We provide customised design solutions that prioritise safety while remaining flexible and cost-effective.

Through the use of specialised software and real fire test data, the team in IDF has the ability to accurately simulate the movement of flames, smoke, heat, and toxic gases within complex structures. This technology is highly beneficial in predicting fires, designing smoke control systems, and utilising computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyse fire-related problems.

A performance-based engineering approach is used to evaluate the fire safety and performance level of buildings, taking into consideration their structural complexity and architectural design. The fire prevention is always met by assessing fire development and structural behaviour. Further, the efficacy of active suppression and extinguishing systems is verified through this process.

Evacuation modeling

The team in IDF utilises specialized software for evacuation modeling in order to assess the timing of evacuations and optimise the building layouts. By utilising advanced computational algorithms, it is possible to translate individual social and behavioral aspects into evacuation models.

This software is frequently employed by IDF engineers in complex structures such as high-rise buildings, shopping malls, movie theatres, and historic buildings. As part of our commitment to Fire Safety Management – GSA, we thoroughly assess all functional and management specifications and analyse systems and escape flows to ensure the safety of all occupants.
