The Fire Service College

Last week, Global had a remarkable opportunity to sponsor The Fire Service College in an effort to educate architecture students from Nottingham Trent University. During this event, we explored various aspects of fire science, and fire behaviour, and even conducted blindfolded evacuation procedures within a simulated emergency scenario to impart valuable knowledge on the best methods of exiting a building during a fire. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Fire Service College for hosting us, and we are eager to continue sponsoring events that raise students’ awareness of the dangers posed by fires.

Nurturing Fire Safety Conscious Architects

Fire safety is a fundamental consideration in architecture, and understanding the intricacies of fire science, fire behaviour, and effective evacuation procedures is pivotal for any aspiring architect. A strong foundation in fire safety ensures that future architects are not only creative but also responsible designers who prioritise the safety of the occupants of the structures they create.

A Collaborative Effort with Nottingham Trent University

Our partnership with Nottingham Trent University allowed us to engage with the architects of tomorrow. By working hand-in-hand with students, we were able to foster a deep understanding of the vital role architects play in designing fire-resistant structures and ensuring safe egress in the event of a fire.

Simulating Fire Emergencies

The highlight of our collaboration with The Fire Service College was undoubtedly the simulated emergency scenario. By immersing students in a realistic fire emergency situation, we aimed to provide a unique learning experience. This involved blindfolded evacuation procedures, where students had to rely on their training and instincts to find their way to safety. Such hands-on exercises are invaluable in preparing individuals for the unexpected and reinforcing the importance of preplanned evacuation routes.

Best Practices for Fire Safety

During the event, we shared insights into fire science, discussing the behaviour of fires and the factors that influence their spread. We emphasised the significance of designing fire-resistant structures and how architectural choices can impact the safety of occupants. Moreover, we provided guidance on the most effective evacuation procedures, showcasing the difference these practices can make in ensuring the well-being of building occupants.

A Pledge to Fire Safety

Global remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing fire safety awareness and education. Our partnership with The Fire Service College and Nottingham Trent University reflects our dedication to nurturing the architects of the future with the skills and knowledge needed to prioritise fire safety in their designs.

As we look ahead, we are excited about the prospect of more collaborative efforts that promote fire safety awareness in the architectural community. We believe that these experiences will help shape a generation of architects who understand the complexities of fire safety and are equipped to design buildings that not only inspire but also protect lives. We are deeply appreciative of The Fire Service College for their invaluable support and look forward to continuing our mission to raise awareness about the dangers posed by fires. Together, we can build a safer future.

The new division joins the Global Group ecosystem, an organisation that encourages all staff to be curious, have open discussion and provide opportunities to push their career potential. Staff are proud of their work and are confident in their decision-making due to the exposure received from their experience at Global. In addition, the friendly atmosphere allows for free thinking and a happy working environment.

Often people ask what the role of MEP designers and sustainability consultants are. In a nutshell, architects will provide their blueprints for the building, the structural engineer will make sure it stands up, the MEP design engineer will make sure the building is powered, lit, heated, connected and provided with sanitation provisions. Finally, the sustainability consultant will make sure the building has longevity and minimal impact on the environment.

The division is separated into two engineering disciplines. First, the MEP services involve the RIBA Stages and BIM (Building Information Modelling) to develop those design packages, which often comprise of a coordinated Level 2 Revit model and include the associated technical drawings, specifications and schedules required for construction. They also provide utilities assessments, which involve the discovery of existing utilities, and consulting with local statutory authorities for connection, diversion, and disconnection applications.

“Our division have a passion for designing spaces for the end-user; the people that will live, work, and play in the building. We want to create spaces that have an atmosphere, are inherently easy to use and do not cost the earth to run.” – Sam Travis-Cavell, Head of Global Building Environments

 

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Secondly, the Sustainability & Energy services involve the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), which are legally required on all properties in the UK. On construction projects, GBE work with the architects and developers to ensure that the Draft and As Built EPCs are compliant with Part L (Building Regulation Approved Document Part L). This can be challenging as often changes and additions must be made to the initial design proposal, such as better insulation of the building fabric and eco-friendly technologies, which can be costly, especially on large scale developments. GBE also work with house-owners, landlords, social housing platforms and estate agents to develop their domestic and non-domestic EPCs required for sale or let of buildings. This is becoming increasingly important as there are annual changes to Part L, legislation and grants which will affect all property owners in the next decade. GBE stay on top of these topics to make sure their clients do not have any unexpected surprises. Following on from EPC and Part L compliance, GBE also provide planning services such as Sustainability and Energy Statements which can be submitted as part of an ongoing planning application requirement on some local councils.

Even though MEP Design and Sustainability are respected disciplines in themselves, they are directly affected by changes and decisions made by fire engineers. GBE are part of the Global Group, a company that have specialized in fire safety for over 20 years, and work directly alongside Global Technical Services (GTS), the experienced and well-established fire engineering consultancy, headed up by Ross O’Loughlin. Where fire strategies require sprinklers, fire alarms, smoke control and fire-retardant insulation, GBE coordinate directly with GTS to ensure all systems are incorporated, coordinated, safe and thermally sound.

Sam Travis-Cavell is Head of the new division. With over eight years of experience in the construction industry as an MEP design engineer, sustainability consultant, contractor, and business owner, he has a varied experience and array of qualifications that has made him a well-rounded, inquisitive, and knowledgeable professional Engineer. He is a certified Energy Assessor for both domestic and non-domestic projects and is a member of CIBSE and CIOB. He is currently undertaken his engineering chartership application to obtain his CEng qualification. Sam’s main attributes are his passion for sustainable design, responsive customer service and a collaborative teamwork mindset. Sam has said “our division have a passion for designing spaces for the end-user; the people that will live, work, and play in the building. We want to create spaces that have an atmosphere, are inherently easy to use and do not cost the earth to run.”

Businesses like GBE are required to ensure buildings are inherently safe, operate effectively, and have minimal impact on the environment. GBE reduce the carbon impact of the construction industry by driving environmentally led building design solutions and communicating these effectively. GBE like to think they can provide their clients with:

  • Better coordination – with technically accurate information utilising the tools available (i.e., BIM), ceiling heights can be heightened. Furthermore, spaces can become flexible and increase in size.
  • Reduced risk – during the latter stages of construction, risk is reduced because of the decisions made by the architect and developer having been made at the design stage with professional engineering input.
  • Energy saving – with a holistic approach, environmentally led solutions can be implemented early in the design process rather than retrofitted when the building is already in construction. This can lead to better technologies being used to save the end user energy and therefore costs.
  • Compliance reassurance – by keeping up to date with current legislation and any upcoming changes. GBE obtain resources at their fingertips and attend industry-led conferences and exhibitions to stay informed.
  • Client involvement – GBE staff are approachable and encourage clients to tell them exactly what they need on each project and cater to their requirements.

GBE have a responsibility for the decisions made on the projects they work on. In the 21st century, it is becoming increasingly important to ensure the environmental impact of the construction project is limited, so together, they can help to achieve government targets for net-zero carbon emissions.

Housing 2023  Event Recap

This week, Global exhibited at the Housing 2023 exhibition event at Manchester Central, showcasing our extensive list of services and expertise. It was great to see so many familiar faces, and to meet so many new ones. Thank you to everyone who came to visit us at our stand. We had some great conversations with other industry experts, as well as those who were interested in our services.

We were exhibiting with our technical consultancy division, Global Technical Services, and the Mechanical Engineering & Plumbing and Sustainability division, Global Building Environments. Exhibiting as The Global Group enabled us to provide our complete approach to the Golden Thread, offering the best possible solutions to the fire safety requirements of potential customers.

During the course of this event, we became aware that some services offered by the Global Group were not completely understood by all participants. In light of this, we thought it would be useful to recap and address some of the frequently asked questions our team received.

What is a Fire Strategy?

A Fire Strategy is a crucial element in the initial stages of building conception, commonly developed alongside the architectural plans. Its fundamental objective is to ensure the safety and compliance of a building by meticulously examining potential risks, problems, and solutions within a building.

A comprehensive Fire Strategy should address various aspects of fire safety within a building. It should assess potential fire risks, including ignition points and fire spread based on construction plans and materials. The strategy should propose measures to minimize fire risk, such as compartmentation, ventilation, and passive fire protection. Both internal (e.g., cladding) and external (e.g., access for emergency services) risks should be considered.

Additionally, the strategy should outline evacuation procedures, escape routes, fire exits, and assembly points. It should specify methods of warning, such as fire alarms, and recommend fire detection and suppression equipment like smoke alarms, extinguishers, and sprinklers. The report should cover emergency lighting, fire signage, and Fire Ratings for doors, walls, ceilings, and floors.

External wall inspections

An External Wall Inspection typically entails evaluating the condition and safety of the outer walls or structure of a building. This assessment is generally carried out by a qualified building inspector or engineer, who examines aspects such as façade configuration, combustibility of materials, workmanship, and adherence to building regulations.

If any issues are detected, the inspector will provide a comprehensive report outlining the problem, its severity, and recommendations for necessary remedial action. Depending on the extent of the issue, this may involve repairs or replacement of the affected areas of the wall.

The PAS 9980:2022 document serves as a code of practice, offering a systematic approach for competent Building Professionals, including Building Surveyors and Fire Engineers, to conduct a Fire Risk Appraisal of a building’s External Walls. These individuals are responsible for evaluating the potential for fire spread through external wall construction and cladding, providing valuable insights to inform the building’s Fire Risk Assessment.
