Fire Engineering for Retail Buildings

We have been involved in fire engineering and developing fire safety solutions for numerous retail and mixed use projects over the last 3 years. This includes a 41 storey residential tower on City Road in London and the £500m One Hyde Park with four residential towers, ground floor retail and basement car park.

Being the lead fire engineer on one of the largest and most prestigious retail and residential schemes in the UK has led us to develop a flexible approach to our involvement. With so many sub-contractors now involved on large reatil schemes keeping track of their requirements and what changes they make is a difficult process. By maintaining a proactive approach in dealing with the design team while keeping in close contact with the main contractor we were able to successfully support the project throughout the design, construction and operation process.

We have significant experience in not only the fire engineering required but we have equipped ourselves with the skills and experience to make sure the design team is fully aware of the impact of the recommendations in the strategy, that they have agreed them and that they are correctly applied on site.

Projects vary in size from relatively small apartment blocks through to conceptual work on large schemes encompassing many hectares of land and many different types of buildings such as the Olympic Site and Napier Park near Luton.
