Fire Protection Planning of the Future
Kiwa Osnabrück engineers create three-dimensional simulation models of your individual project using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). With the help of the proven FDS software, fire spread as well as heat and smoke movement within the three-dimensional structure can be realistically simulated.
What can the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) do?
- Provide project-specific fire protection verification
- Dimensioning and optimization of fire protection systems (RWA/MRA – smoke and heat extraction systems)
- Determination of thermal impacts for structural component design in fire scenarios in accordance with the EUROCODE
Using the results of fire and smoke simulations, deviations from applicable building regulations can be justified on a case-by-case basis.
Services
- Creation of 3D simulation models
- CFD-based real fire simulations
- Safety and economic optimization of customized building solutions
- Preparation of expert reports and individual verifications
- Assessment of fire protection infrastructures
- Determination of temperature impact on building components
- Design and optimization of smoke and heat extraction systems (MRA / NRWG)
Simulate Evacuation – Practice Saving Lives!
Evacuation simulation is a recognized engineering verification method used to demonstrate sufficient escape route dimensioning when deviating from building regulations. This ensures optimal use and capacity of spaces without compromising occupant safety.
In the evacuation of sports stadiums, arenas, theaters, shopping centers, train stations, and airports, every second can save lives. With our simulation-based evacuation analyses, we help you achieve high occupancy rates while ensuring safety.
Services
- Determination of evacuation times for buildings to verify occupant safety
- Identification of critical congestion points to optimize escape and rescue routes
- Escape route management
External Fire Safety Officer
External Fire Safety Officers provide expert guidance on all fire protection matters, supporting businesses in identifying risks and implementing effective safety measures. Depending on regulations, legal requirements, official directives, or risk assessments, companies are obligated to appoint a Fire Safety Officer.

Fire Protection
Fire protection is a matter for experts. It encompasses active, system-based, organizational, and preventive fire protection measures—ranging from fire brigade access routes, water supply requirements, and compartmentation to evacuation concepts and fire suppression systems, and much more. Kiwa Wijnveld is your partner from planning through to commissioning—working across all relevant levels, including building authorities, clients, architects, specialist planners, and contractors. Our consistently tailored fire protection concepts ensure compliance with legal requirements while delivering needs-based and cost-efficient solutions. Fire protection saves lives.
Fire Safety Concepts
From risk analysis to fully developed fire protection concepts—we provide in-depth expertise and clear, effective solutions.
Safety and Evacuation Concepts
We support you both in establishing the overall framework and in further detailing and refining the safety-related aspects of individual events. We integrate the safety concept into the day-to-day operations of each event and coordinate with the responsible authorities, such as the police and emergency services.
Fire Safety Inspection Engineer
With our training, you will become a qualified fire protection review engineer—equipped for standards-compliant inspections and legally sound documentation.
Fire Safety Officer
Kiwa Osnabrück supports fire protection with measures such as fire brigade access routes, fire compartmentation, evacuation concepts, and fire suppression systems.
Fire Brigade Plans, Escape and Rescue Plans
Our fire protection plans are an essential component of each individual fire protection concept. They identify key risk areas and ensure rapid orientation in emergency situations. We work closely with clients and fire authorities before, during, and after construction. Modern digital technologies enable the integration of existing fire protection plans into newly developed ones. Our fire protection and escape plans are certified in accordance with the latest European standard DIN ISO 23601.
Legal Expert Reports & Fire Investigation
Every second counts in an emergency. With our fire cause investigation services, we help identify causes quickly and reliably.
Sprinkler System Design
Our fire protection plans form a vital part of every tailored fire protection concept—highlighting critical risk areas and ensuring quick orientation in emergencies. We work closely with clients and fire services throughout all project phases, while modern digital tools allow seamless integration of existing and new plans. All plans are certified to the latest European standard DIN ISO 23601.
