Identification and evaluation of hazards.
Quantitative analysis.
Fire modelling.

R.J. Bartlett Engineering Ltd. can perform fire safety analyses comprised of quantitative fuel loading assessments, fire hazard analyses, heat transfer analyses, application of computer fire models, structural fire-resistance analyses and fire behaviour principles.

Fire safety analyses are used in reconstructing fire scenes, in establishing equivalencies to building code requirements and for evaluating fire hazards, as they relate to building and industrial complexes for determining the risk of fire losses. This is done by employing fire science principles, fire dynamics and computer modelling, to evaluate possible fire scenarios and effectiveness of fire protection measures being provided.

• Reconstructing a fire scene through the use of computer fire models to validate witness statements.
• Hazard segregation and calculating safe separation distances for plant siting layout.
• Using transient heat transfer and fire spread models for design and evaluation of fire barriers.
• Determining storage height and arrangement effects on the sprinkler activation time and fire growth rates for warehouse storage.
• Flammable liquid storage and fire suppression and control.
• Grouped electrical cable fire hazard calculations.
• Applying dust explosion, suppression, and venting models to waste handling techniques.
