Risk and Safety
Integration of risk and safety studies in the design process gives the basis for an appropriate design and operation and it can be part of an optimisation. Furthermore, in some cases the risk studies are required by regulations.
The level of detail of the analysis must be adapted to the specific purpose. Risk analyses can be carried out at any level of detail. It is important to carry out the analyses by use of a well structured method.
Fire Analysis and Design
Fire design may be necessary in order to have sufficient safety of the structure. Fire design may include the evaluation of the occurrence of fire and the effect of the fire on the structure.
Development and description of concepts and integration of design, operation, safety measures, and emergency planning into an overall safety concept.
Fire Safety Engineering
The specialties of HOJ Consulting comprise among others services related to fire safety engineering and performance based design.
By the use of these methodologies it is possible to adapt the fire design to the actual building and the risk of fire in the particular building.
With the application of the refined methodology it will often be possible to achieve savings in the design and to direct the investments of fire safety installation to the areas, where the benefit in terms of fire safety is the best.
A responsible use of fire safety engineering requires professional knowledge about structural behaviour, fire behaviour, risk analysis and structural reliability. HOJ Consulting has a profound knowledge within these fields and has references both within fire safety engineering and the connected engineering fields.
