Tunnel Fire Modelling: Enhancing Safety Through CFD Fire Simulations

Tunnels used for roadways, metro systems, or utility corridors are essential to modern infrastructure, especially in rapidly urbanising cities across the Middle East and around the world. However, these confined environments present significant fire safety challenges. In the event of a fire, restricted ventilation and the presence of high fuel loads such as vehicles, flammable cargo, or large numbers of passengers can lead to rapid fire development and extensive smoke spread. This poses serious risks to life safety and complicates emergency response operations.

Using Fire and Smoke Modelling to Design Safer Buildings in the Middle East

LAVA Consultants uses CFD fire and smoke modelling to design safer buildings in the Middle East. From skyscrapers to stadiums, we simulate fire behavior, plan evacuations with Pathfinder, and optimise ventilation—ensuring safety, compliance, and faster emergency response.

Enhancing Car Park Safety with CFD Fire and Smoke Modelling

LAVA’s CFD modelling helps assess complex car park fire scenarios by simulating smoke and heat movement, validating ventilation design, and ensuring compliance with NFPA tenability criteria for visibility, temperature, CO levels, and air velocity—supporting safe evacuation and firefighter access.
