Egress modelling is a critical tool in fire safety engineering, providing assurance that occupants can evacuate a building or facility safely and within acceptable timeframes. At Lava Consultants, we apply advanced simulation techniques to study how people move through spaces in both everyday circulation and emergency evacuation scenarios. Our models give architects, engineers, and developers the confidence that their designs meet authority requirements and protect occupant safety.
Using advanced software such as Pathfinder, we perform detailed egress analysis and evacuation modelling for a wide range of projects including high-rise towers, commercial complexes, cultural venues, industrial facilities, and transport hubs.
Egress Analysis Pathfinder is a state-of-the-art simulation tool that allows us to create realistic 3D models of evacuation behaviour. With Pathfinder, we can account for variable occupant characteristics such as walking speeds, mobility levels, pre-movement times, and decision-making under stress.
These simulations provide valuable insights into how people interact with exits, stairways, escalators, and circulation routes. They also highlight potential congestion points or bottlenecks, enabling design teams to make evidence-based improvements. By presenting clear visualisations of evacuation scenarios, our Pathfinder studies support both design validation and authority approvals.
Every project presents unique evacuation challenges. Through egress simulation, we test multiple scenarios including fire emergencies, full building evacuations, and phased evacuation strategies.
This service is particularly valuable for:
• High-rise residential and office towers
• Shopping malls and entertainment complexes
• Hospitals, universities, and schools
• Stadiums and cultural facilities
• Transport interchanges and metro stations
By modelling thousands of occupants in different scenarios, we provide clear evidence that evacuation requirements can be achieved safely, efficiently, and in line with Civil Defence expectations in the UAE as well as international codes.
Transport hubs, particularly metro stations, represent some of the most complex evacuation challenges. High passenger volumes, constrained platforms, and reliance on escalators and stairways create potential risks during peak demand or emergency events.
Our metro station crowd modelling services use Pathfinder and other advanced tools to simulate passenger movement across platforms, concourses, stairways, and exits. We analyse clearance times, crowd densities, and bottleneck points to ensure both normal circulation and emergency evacuation can be achieved safely.
These studies are essential for securing approvals from Dubai Civil Defence, Abu Dhabi Civil Defence, and other authorities, while also providing reassurance that passenger safety remains at the core of station design.
At Lava Consultants, we provide egress modelling UAE services tailored to the requirements of the UAE Fire & Life Safety Code. Our evacuation modelling reports are designed to meet the expectations of Dubai Civil Defence and Abu Dhabi Civil Defence, giving clients a smooth path to approval.
Beyond the UAE, we also deliver evacuation modelling studies across Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and the UK. Our regional expertise ensures that projects meet both local regulatory requirements and international best practice.
By undertaking detailed evacuation analysis, our clients benefit from:
With deep expertise in egress simulation, evacuation modelling, and crowd analysis, Lava Consultants has supported projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and beyond. Our team combines technical proficiency with local code knowledge to deliver practical, authority-compliant solutions.
From metro station crowd modelling to evacuation analysis for high-rise towers and cultural venues, our Pathfinder-based egress analysis provides clients with the evidence needed to validate designs, optimise layouts, and secure authority approvals.
Whether you are developing a metro station in Dubai, a shopping mall in Abu Dhabi, or a stadium in Qatar, our egress modelling services provide the reassurance that your evacuation strategies are safe, compliant, and efficient.

Egress simulation models occupant movement and evacuation efficiency during emergencies, helping optimise building safety and emergency response plans.
Egress Analysis Pathfinder simulates pedestrian flow, crowd density, and bottlenecks under fire or emergency scenarios to improve evacuation performance.
Metro station crowd modelling evaluates passenger movement, queuing, and exit strategies to prevent congestion and ensure safe, timely evacuation.
Evacuation modelling simulates various emergency scenarios to predict evacuation time, exit route efficiency, and occupant safety in complex buildings.
Egress modelling in UAE ensures designs comply with Civil Defence regulations and international safety standards, validating fire safety and evacuation strategies.
Stadiums, metro stations, assembly buildings, high-rise towers, tunnels, and mixed-use developments benefit from performance-based egress and evacuation modelling.
Lava Consultants provides expert egress simulation, Pathfinder-based crowd modelling, and integrated CFD fire modelling, delivering reliable, performance-driven evacuation designs.
