Smoke ventilation contractors FDS Contracting and sister company FDS Consult are offering architects, M&E consultants, developers and contractors the chance to extend their knowledge this May with their latest free CPD seminar.

Providing an overview of fire engineering, achieving building regulations compliance and rationalising design solutions, the seminar will utilise case study examples to demonstrate the use of both smoke ventilation and sprinkler system solutions.

The event, which takes place at The Building Centre, London on Wednesday 27 May, will also feature a presentation discussing the Regulatory Reform Order (RRO), risk assessment and management strategy, hosted by Michel Wizenberg, Managing Director of FDS Consult.

Speaking of the upcoming event, Michel said: “By speaking to industry professionals involved at various stages of the design and build process we hope to raise awareness of the advantages that fire engineering can provide.

“Adopting this approach from a project’s early stages can allow properties to be designed with fire safety requirements in mind, removing the risk of have to add costly additional systems later on to meet regulations. The CPD will also explain the benefits of fire engineer involvement beyond the initial planning and construction phases, including a talk on fire risk assessment and management strategies for a building’s ongoing use.”

Michel will be joined at the event by fellow speakers and colleagues Jigar Pandya, Senior Fire Engineer at FDS Consult and Fire Engineer Alastair Crossley.
