Means of Escape & Evacuation Strategy

Occupant load, exit capacity, travel distances and evacuation strategies for complex buildings — including phased and defend-in-place strategies for hospitals.

Protected escape staircase with emergency lighting

Every building needs a way out that works for the people who use it. We calculate occupant loads, exit capacity and travel distances against the Saudi Fire Code, and plan evacuation strategies that fit how the building actually operates — from simultaneous evacuation to phased and defend-in-place approaches in hospitals.

When you need it

  • Large assembly, retail, transport or healthcare buildings
  • Designs where travel distances or exit widths are challenged
  • A change of use or occupancy that affects escape routes
  • Hospitals planning phased or defend-in-place evacuation
