Tunnels and underground car parks
Recent disasters in road tunnels (Mont Blanc, Gotthard, …), and increasingly in underground rail links, whether HST (Channel tunnel) or subways (Kaprun), have demonstrated that a fire-safe design is paramount.
Because of the ever increasing use of private cars and the limited availability and rocketing prices for real estate, car parks are being built more and more underground. Shopping malls, office blocks, leisure centres, residential complexes, … none of them escape this trend. The concentration of buildings and the complexity of constructional shapes, combined with the increased fire risk of cars, require professional expert knowledge of ventilation and smoke & heat extraction systems. The NBN S 21-208-2 standard is clear proof of this.

Life & time saving
Computer programs developed especially for these tasks (mathematical models and finite computational fluid dynamics(CFD) make it possible to carry out reliable simulations that are very close to real-life situations. The synergy between both firms is a strong asset that guarantees an efficient project, from design to final handover.
