WE ARE LEADERS IN PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN AND INNOVATION
We have a reputation for introducing performance based design approaches in locations where such designs have not been applied before. Our Fire Engineering experience can deliver state of the art design advice. Fire safety engineering is a rapidly developing field in Africa in which Fireplan Fire Engineering has established itself as one of the leaders in the African continent. Our core skill is the provision of advice on local design requirements, and the development of alternative design solutions supported and validated by advanced computational modelling techniques as appropriate. We deliver safety in ways that reduce costs which are conducive to architectural expression and work in harmony with the operational design aspirations of signature projects.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to deliver quality, innovation, and value to the client by understanding how to integrate fire safety in the design process in relation to local conditions and codes.
