Installing and maintaining life safety systems in compliance with a building’s occupancy type is required by fire codes and follows legal requirements globally. Proving that all your building's detectors have been tested can often be challenging, especially in restricted areas within buildings, such as hospitals, prisons, universities, hotels, data centres, along with others. Furthermore, inaccurate testing due hard to reach detectors, or those in ceiling voids can result in untested devices – jeopardising the buildings’ overall fire safety. New technologies from the fire industry are seeking to solve these issues by digitalising the process; creating audit trails to prove that your sub-contractor has completed a full functional test of the fire system. The added automation also allows the whole testing process to take place without downtime or disruption that manual testing brings with it. Digitisation and automation of these processes help service providers and building owners in many ways, including saving time on site, reducing building disruption, providing real-time updates on Test and Inspect progress, and improving life safety performance by validating that the entire system works as intended and has been tested to code.

The construction sector is currently facing one of its biggest transitions to date. The findings of the Grenfell Inquiry, in addition to the release of the Building Safety Bill and the formation of the National Construction Products Regulator, are paving the way for a new generation of certification and compliance. This session will explore the importance of superseding minimum levels of compliance to ensure the long-term safety of a building by specifying, installing and maintaining fire rated building products that have undergone adequate product testing and certification.

The fire engineering landscape in which we operate is changing at a faster pace than at any time. This is both exciting and challenging and we looking to have input from stakeholders including other engineering disciplines in shaping our future direction. Across the board our roles and responsibilities are evolving, influenced by advances in technologies and materials, external factors such as climate change and learnings from major incidents such as Grenfell. These are all influencing new regulations and standards, new ways of working and highlighting the importance of knowledge and information sharing to evolve our skills and capabilities worldwide. In the presentation, we will address the importance of understanding the big picture for the fire engineering input to projects and its impact on the design sustainability and influence the asset operation throughout the life-cycle.
