Eight new chapters address storage of specific commodities.
Updated hanging and bracing rules meet or exceed the seismic requirements of ASCE 7: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures and building code requirements.
Fire safety engineering is increasingly providing design
solutions for such buildings that facilitate function and aesthetics while providing a
first line of defence against the occurrence and propagation of fire.
The project aims to help the fire
and rescue services reduce the number of casualties and damage to property resulting
from fires by providing critical and timely forecasts concerning the likely sequence of
events following the outbreak of fire in a building before such events occur.
This will
include predictions of how the fire is expected to spread, how the structural integrity
of the building will be affected
It is anticipated that this information will be used by the
emergency services to make best-informed decisions regarding their response to the
fire.
We also provide fire detection and alarm systems which may be linked
to the extinguishing systems. We can supply any ancillary items that
may be required to make a complete "turnkey" package such
as breathing apparatus, safety suits and fireman's equipment.
