Detailed Project Overview:
We begin with a thorough description of the proposed construction site, covering any phasing aspects and identifying surrounding risks. This ensures a complete understanding of the project's context and potential challenges.
Surrounding Area Review:
An examination of the area surrounding the site is conducted, focusing on identifying any isolated escape routes and potential hazards in the vicinity. This step is crucial for comprehensive risk assessment.
RT Radiant Heat Flux Tool Analysis:
Utilising the External Fire Spread Calculations, we conduct an in-depth assessment of the proposed site. This analysis focuses on the surrounding risk points and the effectiveness of any isolated escape routes, ensuring a meticulous evaluation of fire-related risks.
Customised Protection Strategy Development:
Based on our findings, we develop a site-specific protection strategy. This bespoke approach is tailored to address the unique characteristics and risks of your project site.
Residual Radiant Heat Risk Analysis:
We perform a detailed analysis of any residual radiant heat risks. This analysis is then integrated into the overall protection strategy, ensuring that all potential fire hazards are thoroughly addressed.
