CASE STUDY

100 Bishopsgate represents a tall development including three towers in central London of up to 43 floors. The Fazenda restaurant is proposed within two of the commercial units as part of the development located on the ground floor, mezzanine and first floors of the podium building.

We were engaged to develop the fire safety strategy for the fit-out of the Fazenda restaurant. We used the guidance presented in BS 9999 to support in the development of a design which ensured the achievement of their occupancy numbers, including sign off from both BC and LFB.

CASE STUDY

We developed a 5-stage methodology to support the client, from registering the building (Stage 1) with the BSR to delivering the Building Safety Case (Stage 5). We compiled a missing information report and Key Building Information Report by reviewing all historical documents available for the buildings. We are subsequently supporting the client in developing the missing information including architectural plans, structural surveys, PAS9980 surveys, Fire Safety Strategies, Fire Stopping Surveys etc. All this information will be required to write up a comprehensive building safety case demonstrating that the risks for the buildings are ALARP.

CASE STUDY

The Marriott Hotel represented an existing mixed-use development of up to 9 floors, which included hotel use all floors with various commercial units at ground floor. The works proposed were connecting 2 single units into a single large restaurant and providing internal fit out works.

As part of our review, we recommended a suppression system, advising on travel distances, structural fire resistance, and occupancy numbers. Our quick turnaround meant the project was able to get completed before their scheduled programme time.

CASE STUDY

The project represents a large residential development, including 2 blocks of flats (6 and 4 stories respectively) and 21 rows of terrace and semi-detached houses.

We were asked to support in the development of a planning fire safety strategy and completion of the fire statement form. As part of our review, we undertook an online workshop with the design team, flagging to them at the outset issues which needed to be solved. From this we were able to develop a detailed planning fire safety strategy within 24 hours of the final drawings provided, which meant the client was able to submit their planning application on time, with the confidence that all fire issues had been dealt with.
