Fire Engineering.

What is Fire Engineering?

How do we resolve the tension between restrictive building codes, regulations and architectural and sustainable design?

Delivering safe design solutions

Our Fire Engineers assist architects, building owners and developers to identify and mitigate the design risks of their project in the event of a fire.

For many modern buildings fire engineering is the most appropriate and cost-effective way to achieve satisfactory safety standards.

Introba’s global team balance specialist local knowledge with best-in-class solutions from around the world.

Client-focused, Introba’s solutions match our clients’ objectives, always ensuring practical and safe design options.

As a well-respected leader in Fire Engineering, Introba use science, engineering, and an experienced network of fire safety engineers to facilitate freedom in design, balancing function, aesthetics, and sustainability, while maintaining building fire safety to community expectations.

The necessity of sustainable buildings brings with it a complex challenge in designing building fire safety strategies. Such strategies can resolve large atriums, progressive architectural design features, and preserve the integrity of renewable building materials. Fire safety engineers assist in making design and project goals a reality.

Michel Wizenberg Senior Principal & Fire Engineering Lead

Michel is a highly experienced and technically advanced fire engineer, understand both aspirations and practical requirements of projects. He coordinates the UK fire engineering team.
