Fire and Smoke Modelling Services

Fire and Smoke Simulations

Temperature heat map of structure

At Lava Consultants, we provide advanced fire modelling services using cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools such as Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and PyroSim. Our models support performance-based fire engineering strategies, helping designers, developers, and consultants achieve safe, efficient, and code-compliant buildings across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the wider Middle East.

As a trusted fire safety engineering consultancy, we simulate the complex behaviour of fire growth, smoke propagation, and ventilation system response to provide engineering evidence that goes beyond prescriptive code compliance.

Advanced Fire Modelling Services in the UAE, KSA and Qatar

Fire modelling is becoming an essential requirement for complex projects in the UAE, KSA and Qatar, where innovative architecture and strict safety codes demand reliable performance-based solutions. At Lava Consultants, our fire modelling services provide detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess fire growth, smoke movement, temperature profiles, and visibility during critical evacuation periods. These studies help ensure compliance with the UAE Fire & Life Safety Code, Dubai Civil Defence, and Abu Dhabi Civil Defence requirements, while also aligning with Qatar Civil Defence authority standards.
By using advanced tools such as FDS and PyroSim, we support engineers, architects, and contractors in demonstrating the effectiveness of smoke management and ventilation systems across a wide range of building types, including high-rise towers, shopping malls, transport hubs, and underground car parks. Our fire modelling in the UAE, KSA and Qatar not only enhances occupant safety but also streamlines authority approvals, reduces design rework, and provides confidence in achieving project deadlines. With our expertise, design teams can rely on accurate fire engineering insights to deliver safer and code-compliant buildings.

1. What are CFD fire simulations and why are they important?

CFD fire simulations use Computational Fluid Dynamics tools like FDS and PyroSim to predict fire growth, smoke movement, and system performance, ensuring safe and code-compliant buildings.

Our fire and smoke modelling services cover heat release, flame spread, smoke movement, temperature distribution, visibility conditions, and the effectiveness of smoke control systems.

By modelling airflow, heat, and smoke behaviour, smoke control system simulation validates that ventilation systems maintain safe conditions for evacuation and firefighting operations.

Fire modelling ensures compliance with Civil Defence requirements, optimises fire safety designs, and provides engineering evidence for complex projects.

Fire CFD modelling is crucial for high-rise buildings, metro stations, tunnels, stadiums, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and other large or complex structures.

Smoke modelling evaluates visibility, toxic gas levels, and air temperatures during fire scenarios. These insights integrate with evacuation modelling tools like Pathfinder for safer evacuation planning.

Lava Consultants combines advanced CFD fire simulations with evacuation modelling, delivering trusted expertise, international compliance, and collaboration-ready fire safety reports.
