Fire Engineering > CFD

Technical depth.
Design clarity.
Proven performance.

We use advanced modelling tools to test how buildings behave in real-world fire scenarios – helping you unlock design potential, support compliance, and make confident, data-led decisions.

What we offer

Our team uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Crowd and Evacuation Modelling (CEM) to assess how smoke, heat, and people move in different conditions. These insights help justify complex designs, demonstrate safety strategies, and reduce uncertainty at approval stages.

We provide:

  • Smoke and heat movement modelling (CFD)
    – supporting designs for smoke control systems and mechanical ventilation
  • Crowd and evacuation modelling (CEM)
    – assessing occupant movement, escape times, and means of escape
  • Fire scenario analysis
    – to test performance and identify potential risks
  • Support for complex buildings and non-standard layouts
    – such as atria, open-plan areas, and transport hubs
  • Presentation of results for stakeholder review
    – including Building Control and fire authorities
  • Integration with fire strategy and structural fire design
    – for a joined-up safety solution

Why it matters

CFD and CEM modelling provide the insight needed to support design approvals, de-risk decision-making, and protect end users. With CHPK’s support, you can:

  • Optimise layouts without compromising safety
  • Achieve approval on complex or performance-based designs
  • Understand how a building will behave in a real emergency
  • Reduce design uncertainty with clear, visual data
  • Strengthen your fire strategy with tested evidence
