Modeling the Impact of Fire on Facilities

Analyze the major fire risks affecting industrial facilities.

Study and characterize fires as major risks for industrial facilities
Anticipate and control the occurrence of fires originating from elements such as electrical cabinets, cables, or liquids, in a range of configurations
Simulate fire phenomena and carry out risk studies that comply with safety requirements, including compartmentalization, thermal resistance criteria, and the effectiveness of inerting processes

Benefit from full support throughout facility design to risk management
Rely on advanced fire modeling methodologies based on modeling, based on range of software tools incorporating artificial intelligence and experimental data from open literature, in three approaches:
- FastQuick studies using the CFAST software
- 3D studies using the FDS software
- Studies based on an automated design-of-experiments tool, enabling massive sensitivity analyses (~100,000 calculations per study)
