Fire safety design that protects people and assets
The fire safety (SCIE) design defines a building's fire safety conditions, according to RJ-SCIE and RT-SCIE; self-protection measures organise that safety while the building is in use. Fire safety system design in line with the RJ-SCIE and the RT-SCIE.
End-to-end fire safety (SCIE)
We develop designs and provide complete services in the field of fire safety.
Fire safety (SCIE) designs
Passive and active measures — fire compartmentation, escape routes, detection, automatic extinguishing, smoke control and signage.
Inspections and surveys
Preparing the building for ANEPC inspections, with a prior check of all safety conditions.
Drills
Planning and oversight of evacuation exercises and emergency drills.
Installation and testing oversight
We follow the on-site installation of fire safety systems and the acceptance tests: detection, suppression, smoke control and signage.
Fire safety with rigour
Each building has its own risk profile. Our process takes the specific characteristics of each context into account.
Risk classification and assessment
We determine the use type, the risk category and specific factors — architecture, location, fire-service access conditions.
Passive-measures design
Fire-rated compartmentation, escape routes, reaction to fire of materials and accessibility conditions for emergency services.
Active-measures design
Automatic detection (fire alarm), automatic extinguishing (sprinklers), smoke control, fire hose reels and extinguishers.
Compliance with RJ-SCIE and RT-SCIE
What you gain with Afazeres Curiosos
Sizing for real risk
Systems sized for the building's real risk and the way it is used.
Integrated coordination
We coordinate the safety systems with the electrical, HVAC and telecommunications systems to reconcile the disciplines.
We also review designs in this discipline produced by other designers. See how design review works →
Frequently asked questions about fire safety
What are self-protection measures?
They are the procedures and records that organise fire safety in a building in use: safety records, prevention and emergency procedures, evacuation plan, training and drills, depending on the risk category.
Who can prepare self-protection measures?
A qualified technician. In buildings and venues of the 3rd and 4th risk categories, the law requires a technician registered with the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC).
When is an SCIE design needed?
For works subject to a licence or prior notification, licensing requires the SCIE design or, in simpler cases, the safety sheet, depending on the building use and risk category.
How much does an SCIE design cost?
It depends on the size and type of building, the scope required and the level of detail. We prepare the proposal after receiving the documents (architecture, use and risk category), to make sure what we propose fits what you need.
How do I request a proposal or contact you?
