Predictive models for fire scenarios inside buildings to control emergency

Cantene is a leader in Fire Safety Engineering to manage fire and smoke emergencies inside tertiary buildings, industrial and logistic plants.

 

Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is the common land for an engineering multidisciplinary approach. It connects architects’ needs and safety objectives with ventilation designers constraints, respecting the safety standard. Cantene supports design choices for the smoke management and structural integrity. It’s your partner to optimize the alternative design solution in fire protection to reduce impact of requalification in historical buildings or buildings relevant from the architectural point of view. We also analyze propagation phenomena in high intensity storages, supporting the design of technological solutions for the active control of fires in logistics. 

 

Cantene verifies the vulnerability of civil buildings. Through simulations of explosions, typically in high density urban areas, it’s possible to: determine the damage on the structures both for the building in question and for the adjacent ones, and evaluate the eventual collapse.

Flame streams propagate quickly and permanently. Play with fire only here.

VALUE CHAIN

  • 01 FEASIBILITY STUDY

    Simulations help during the preliminary project plan to: evaluate interferences with civil works and support outline structural decisions. Alternative solutions at preliminary design stage are examined and discussed to identify the best one.

  • 02 LIFE SAFETY/FIRE SAFETY ENGINEERING

    Definition of the strategy of fire prevention systems, referring in particular to all the aspects developed by a performance-based approach.

  • 03 VULNERABILITY

    Through Breeze ExDAM®, it’s possible to evaluate the structural vulnerability of the building and then to support potential resilience analyses.

  • 04 MODELLING AND SIMULATION

    Quantitative analyses for all cases, in which derogations are necessary to keep the aim of the architectural concept, are developed to measure the effects of fire scenarios.

  • 05 VENTILATION SYSTEM DESIGN

    Simulations support the ventilation system design in an ordinary or emergency scenario.

  • 06 DELIVERY & COMMISSIONING

    Through simulations, it’s possible to verify if the output of the design choices and of the implementation strategies suits with what was predicted.
