There are a number of issues that constantly come up in our daily work. Naturally, we encourage you to contact us and we will be happy to help you answer any questions. If you are in a bad situation and can’t call us right now, you might find the answer to your question below:
Fire safety documentation is required for the construction of all new buildings, except for supplementary buildings of less than 15 m2. However, the scope of the fire safety documentation may vary depending on the type of building in question.
Deemed to satisfy means that the developer meets the fire protection requirements of the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s Building Regulations (BBR) by following the solutions and methods specified in the general advice to the regulations. Performance based design means that the developer meets one or more of the requirements by means other than deemed to satisfy, which requires some form of verification of varying scope.
Usually, a document is needed at an early stage or during the construction process describing how the fire protection should be designed in order to comply with the building regulations. This document is often referred to as a fire protection description. Upon completion of the building, it is transformed into a fire protection document describing the final fire protection in the building, i.e. as-built documentation.
Fan in operation in the event of a fire means a protective method whereby fans in ventilation systems are used to control smoke or limit the spread of fire and smoke between fire cells. This is an alternative to using fire dampers or ventilating each fire cell with a separate system, but needs to be verified with calculations.
The number of people allowed on a premises depends on the type of activity, the escape routes and the design of the fire protection system. For example, the number of persons allowed on a premiss is often determined by the design of the room’s escape doors with regard to the door opening and clearance width. An assessment therefore needs to be made for each specific premises.
This depends on where it is handled, in what quantities and in what way it is to be used.
A permit application requires a summary of quantities, a description of the operations, various drawings (site plan, building drawing, process drawing, etc.), a risk assessment and possibly a classification plan if there is open handling, as well as operation and maintenance instructions. Certificates may also be required for inspections of, for example, cisterns. The supervisor of flammable goods must be appointed and notified to the licensing authority at the time of application.
Yes. We tailor courses for, among others, supervisors of flammable goods according to your operations.
The amount of fire protection required to protect a steel column to the correct fire class is influenced by a number of factors, but most importantly: the type of protection required, the profile and dimensions of the column, and the fire load factor, or critical temperature, of the column.
Refurbishment is a form of modification of a building. Whether or not the project is designated as a refurbishment is mainly a matter of which parts of the building are subject to requirements. In the case of a modification, other than refurbishment, requirements are normally only imposed for the modified part, but in the case of refurbishment, requirements are imposed for the whole building, or for the significant and definable part that is being renewed. The conditions for when a modification is to be considered so extensive that it is to be regarded as a refurbishment are based on the Planning and Construction Act (PBL).
