Structural Fire Engineering
At CASE, we specialize in Performance-Based Fire Engineering (PBFE) to protect communities, businesses, and valuable assets. Our approach combines cutting-edge simulations, fire science, and behavioral insights to develop customized, cost-effective fire safety solutions.
With experience investigating high-profile fire-induced progressive collapses, such as the Pier 45 incident, our team offers expert fire protection and life safety services for both new and existing structures. Our engineers actively contribute to the development of industry codes, standards, and evaluation methodologies, ensuring our practices are at the forefront of fire engineering.
Our comprehensive fire engineering services include:
- Performance-Based Design: Tailored fire safety solutions that meet performance goals while minimizing costs.
- Fire Risk Assessments: Identifying potential hazards and mitigating risks through strategic design.
- Fire-Induced Collapse Analysis: Evaluating structural resilience under extreme fire scenarios.
- Advanced Fire Modeling: Analyzing fire dynamics, heat transfer, smoke propagation, and structural response.
- Forensic Fire Investigations: Determining the origins, causes, and impacts of fire incidents.
We deliver robust and resilient fire safety strategies that protect both property and lives.
