Every building is different. Although prescriptive building codes may seem restrictive, performance based fire engineering can allow flexibility in your design while maintaining fire safety.
Performance Based Fire Engineering:The Safest Solution For Your Project
What Do You Get?At Meinhardt, we believe that architects and designers should have the freedom to be creative without being overly restricted by building codes. We enjoy the challenge of working with those that design outside the box.
We have more than 15 years international experience in Performance Based Fire Engineering, delivering Risk Assessments; Fire & Smoke Spread Modelling; Evacuation Modelling; and Human Behaviour Advice.
We specialise in developing tailored, cost-effective solutions for clients which:
• Maximise building safety• Maximise occupant safety• Minimise risk• Reduce capital expenditure• Reduce recurring operational costs
Where Do We Do It?With a wide ranging experience working in multidisciplinary design teams, we have gained knowledge and expertise working onmajorfit-outprojectsinbothnewandexistingbuildingsacrossa variety of key sectors both in Australia and internationally.
Key Sectors:
The ExpertiseThe Performance Based Fire Engineering Team is led by Denny Verghese, who has an extensive track record in project delivery andfiresafetyresearch.
Denny’s expertise in Fire Safety Engineering comes from many years of research, testing and consultancy for research and educational institutions, includingVictoriaUniversity,ScientificServices Laboratory (SSL) and CSIRO.
He played a key role in the Fire Code Reform Centre Project 4 in developing a Fire Risk Cost assessment model and was involved in the development of the International Fire Safety Engineering Guidelines. He has also been involved in teaching firesafetyengineeringandrelatedcomputermodellingcoursesin Australia and South East Asia.
Denny also has significant experience working on Australianand International Building Codes, including Malaysia, India, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East.
