Fire Engineering
Fire Engineering is the practice of designing buildings for safety from fire. Buildings are constructed per legislation and regulations and are subject to regular inspection and Audit by a Fire Safety Engineer.
Fire Engineering involves fire protection engineering and fire safety engineering.
Fire Protection Engineering
A Fire Protection Engineer designs the Fire Protection services and systems, for example, sprinkler, manual suppression systems, alarm and detection systems.
Fire Safety Engineering
Most buildings will benefit from Fire Safety Design using Performance Solutions. The Fire Safety Engineering process develops a Fire Safety Strategy. The strategy consists of meeting the required Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions and Performance Requirements.
The Fire Safety Engineer creates an alternative building design for the BCA's fire safety requirements, contributing to developing the building's alternative strategy.
Fire Safety Design is developed through the engineering analysis application and accepted by the relevant authority having jurisdiction. Most commonly, the Building Surveyor and they will sometimes ask for Third Party certification.
Compliance to the BCA
There are two ways to achieve compliance with the BCA.
1. The First is Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS). This means following the 'recipes' in the Building Code required for your building type and class.
2. The second option develops an optimal alternative strategy through a combination of DtS with Performance Solutions, which meets the Building Code's Performance Criteria.
