Checklist for

ESCS Submission

When deciding on the type of Engineered Smoke Control System (ESCS) or Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation System (SHEVS) required, the risks are considerably greater when one assumes standard conditions instead of taking all individual circumstances into account.

Fire safety engineering cannot be studied in isolation.

Well-balanced fire safety solution needs Innovation, Functionality, Sustainability and Performance.

Checklist for

Fire Engineering Assessment

With the prevailing building codes and standards changing to address new technologies and market trends, existing buildings may be outdated or deemed to be non-compliant during the stage of upgrading. Innovative fire safety engineering designs for existing building designs are therefore required to ensure continuity and code compliance.

Alternative approaches to address building modifications and compliance for fire safety
