In addition to conventional construction projects, we specialize in fire safety planning for demanding special sites. These include underground construction sites such as metros and road tunnels, timber construction, tall construction sites, ships and nuclear power plants.
The design and construction of special sites requires an in-depth understanding of fire behavior and the ability to apply expert knowledge and experience to the specific features of the site. Our fire safety planners are also able to take into account numerous additional site-specific requirements. These include international standards for ships and strict safety requirements for nuclear power plants.
Our service palette
Our services in construction projects
The construction project includes all tasks of building, starting from the needs assesment in pre-design phase to the commissioning of the completed building or structure. After these, maintenance and service will continue throughout the building’s life cycle. The building’s fire safety planning mainly takes place in the designing phase, where the planning documents attached to the building permit application are prepared. Read more
Fire safety planning
We prepare fire engineering plans and smoke extraction plans to be attached to the building permit. Functional fire sizing is our core competence. We perform fire, smoke control and exit simulation and impact assessment with industry-leading functional fire safety planning tools. Our area of expertise also includes fire break planning, fire protection planning, rescue route, rescue and initial fire-fighting equipment plans, and site fire safety plans. Read more
Evaluations of potential cost savings
Our specialty is performance-based fire safety design, which can be used to achieve significant cost savings in all kinds of construction projects without compromising fire safety – including sites designed traditionally by dimensioning tables of fire safety regulations. Cost savings are created through the lighter structural solutions and therefore reducted construction and material costs. Saving on building materials also reduces the carbon footprint of the building. Read more
Inspection services
Our inspection services include, among other things, expert supervision during construction, fire safety inspections of properties, fire department inspections and fire break inspections both during the construction phase and on old properties. Expert consultation and supervision during construction can avoid errors in the implementation of fire plans and the additional costs involved. It also ensures that the building is completed on schedule. Read more
Expert services and statements
Our expert services include fire engineering consulting, fire load calculations, explosion hazard assessment, risk analysis, fire safety audits and procurement consulting. We provide expert opinions such as fire safety advice and third-party advice required by the authorities, quickly and at an affordable price. Read more
Trainings and lectures
As experts, we participate in various training events and seminars. Our training and lecture topics include fire safety in wood construction, performance-based fire safety design, structural fire safety, practical fire safety solutions and fire work card training. We also produce training and learning material, manuals and instructions related to fire safety. Read more
Research and development
We offer solid research and development expertise in the field of fire technology. We bring fire engineering know-how to the product development of the construction product industry, both in terms of knowledge of materials and fire behavior and in the design of combustion tests. We monitor standardization work in the field and actively contribute to the development of fire regulations by participating in, among other things, surveys based on regulations. Read more
Fire cause investigation
We prepare fire cause studies for demanding sites with fire simulations and statements. We also find out the regulatory basis and practical implementation of the structural fire safety of the damage site. We have successfully investigated difficult fire cases both in Finland and abroad. Read more
