As part of a wider smoke hazard analysis, TechArt Enterprises provided detailed engineering analysis of an exposed steel structure of an old power station that is being refurbished. 

The analysis involved modelling a fire in a compartment of the building where there was exposed steel structure.  The simulation was set up to specifically model the incident heat flux on the steel structure. 

Results of the modelling were used to determine a conservative temperature-time profile of the exposed steel structure.  Therefore we were able to determine the likely time to failure for the steel members being assessed.
