Fire and Evacuation Simulations
Every building is unique. Fire and smoke represent equally significant hazards, influenced by the specific spatial layout as well as the materials and airflow conditions. Using our advanced digital simulation technology (FDS – Fire Dynamics Simulator), we can model individual fire and smoke development scenarios with a probability of at least 90%.

From risk analysis to fully developed fire protection concepts—we provide in-depth expertise and clear, effective solutions.
