What is Fire Engineering?

We provide a flexible forward-thinking approach to enable our clients to achieve cost effective and practical solutions for the full range of fire safety problems. Our highly respected and experienced team of qualified fire engineers provide a high level of technical capability and are supported by the latest in CFD modelling techniques. This is a two way process and options are explored with the design team to ensure the most effective solutions are identified.

The governing principle is to develop a safe and effective strategy enabling the desired solution, operational requirements, and design quality. We are known throughout the industry and with Approving Authorities for our clear, well supported and practical reports fully coordinated within the design team, and clearly illustrated for application, assessment and approval using BIM compliant systems.

Through the application of CFD modelling smoke ventilation systems can be more accurately designed as the accuracy of the analysis is much greater. By producing our own specifications you are not stuck with one manufacturer or supplier but can enter the market and get the best price from any ventilation system provider. The cost of the modelling is not as much as you may think either, Trenton Fire have developed a suite of CFD models for all buildings from warehouses to dead end corridors in residential buildings.

Representation on a number of strategic fire safety committees means we, and our clients, are aware of any proposed changes to guidance documents and current best practice. These include Heritage Special Interest Groups, Technical Services Advisory Group for the Institution of Fire Engineers, the Arson Control Forum, National Association of Healthcare Fire Officers and many others. Our fire strategies therefore support innovative and cost effective building design for the full life cycle of the building.

"Trenton Fire's creativity, ability to listen and understand the key project requirements, as well as an ability to respond quickly within the tight timescales of the bid are really impressive and unusual in my experience. Their ability and willingness to produce innovative and cost effective solutions that assisted in achieving project goals is a tremendous asset to any design team."
