Innovative Fire Safety Solutions for Warehouses + Distribution Centres

Jensen Hughes brings extensive experience in designing fire safety solutions for warehouses and distribution centres. We advocate for a performance-based fire safety approach, ensuring safe evacuation for occupants and effective brigade intervention, while optimising the fire safety systems required for the building. Considering the large areas, volumes, and typically low occupancy rates of these facilities, we rationalise the number and location of exits to provide an efficient and compliant design.

In addition to fire safety, our team provides expert code consulting, accessibility consulting, and energy and sustainability solutions for warehouse projects. We ensure that your facility meets all regulatory requirements, optimises accessibility for all users, and integrates energy-efficient practices to reduce environmental impact.

Advanced Fire Modelling

Using advanced design methodologies and software, we simulate real-life building fire scenarios to predict conditions and assess smoke spread. This allows us to reduce or even eliminate the need for smoke exhaust systems in many cases. Early involvement of key stakeholders, including NSW Fire Brigades and approval authorities, ensures the development of a fire safety design that meets everyone’s needs and facilitates a smooth approval process.
