Fire Engineering > Structural Fire Engineering

Material insight.
Design optimisation.
Proven resilience.

Fire doesn’t just affect people – it impacts the structure. We help you understand how your building will behave in a fire and apply performance-based solutions that optimise safety, unlock efficiencies, and support compliance.

What we offer

Our team combines fire engineering expertise with structural insight to develop solutions that go beyond prescriptive guidance. We support both new builds and refurbishments, tailoring our approach to your design, materials, and risk profile.

We provide:

Structural fire assessments and design input
– for steel, concrete, timber and hybrid structures

Fire resistance calculations and finite element modelling
– to understand real structural performance

Rationalisation of passive fire protection
– reducing overspecification and unnecessary cost

Support for innovative materials and design approaches
– with a clear safety strategy

Coordination with architects, engineers and contractors
– for seamless project delivery

Documentation for Building Control and approval bodies
– evidencing structural fire performance

Why it matters

Overly cautious assumptions can add cost, weight, and complexity – while missed risks can be catastrophic. With CHPK’s support, you can:

  • Optimise structural fire protection based on evidence, not guesswork
  • Justify innovative or performance-based designs
  • Reduce material use, cost and embodied carbon
  • Improve coordination between fire and structural design
  • Achieve compliance with confidence

It is an absolute pleasure working with the CHPK team and I could not be more happy with the service they provide and the support they have given.

Balance resilience, efficiency,
and compliance in every design
