Jet fan in a car park smoke control system

Smoke, not flame, is the main danger to people in a fire. We design smoke control systems to NFPA 92, the Saudi Building Code and recognised engineering references, and verify their performance with CONTAM network analysis or FDS modelling where the design needs it.

When you need it

  • An atrium, mall, lobby or other large connected space
  • A basement car park using jet fans, ducted or natural ventilation
  • Pressurised escape stairs, lobbies or lift shafts
  • Verification of an existing smoke management system

  1. 01Zone, atrium and lobby smoke control design
  2. 02Car park smoke ventilation: jet fans, ducted or natural systems
