AESG, a leading consultancy practice in the Middle East announced that it would establish a dedicated fire and life safety consultancy division to address new demands in the region
The division announced by leading consultancy firm, AESG, is fully licensed by local civil defence authorities and provides a holistic portfolio of eleven critical services among which are Building Fire and Life Safety Strategy and Design, Qualitative and Quantitative Fire Risk Assessments, Fire Systems Design and Engineering, Fire Safety Audits, Fire Protection System Design.
Division Director, Peter van Gorp, who is a regional veteran with over 20 years of experience in the specific area, believes this expertise offers is a key benefit for clients. “There are no straight forward solutions in fire safety, only intelligent choices which are made by qualified professionals with extensive real-world experience,” he explained.
Commenting on the market need for AESG’s services, he said, “Skyscrapers and high-rise buildings are commonplace to city skylines in the Middle East and these large developments require sophisticated fire and life safety strategies. There is a tremendous amount of oil and gas related activities in the region which require detailed planning to develop optimised and effective fire engineering solutions.”
“I have seen many fire protection systems installed which do not mitigate the main concern of the client in providing the most effective and optimised strategy for life safety. The level of fire protection required should always be seen in relation to the level of risk mitigation, ensuring that the safety of building occupants is never compromised. At AESG, we have invested not only in developing technical knowledge, but also in insuring that it is translated and incorporated into the services we deliver,” van Gorp added.
