We Start From Here

Red Helmet Engineering use the most innovative tools in the design industry to bring the highest quality product to our clients.

2D and 3D innovative design

Beside the traditional 2D software such as AutoCAD, Red Helmet Engineering use 3D fire protection programs such as AutoSprink to provide the full coordinated design drawings to its clients.

BIM

Red Helmet Engineering offers the most advanced expertise in Building Information Modelling (BIM). Digital design and modeling guarantees that clients and users get the building results they want. Digital 3D models improve collaboration between   project   parties   to   ensure   that   the   project    is well coordinated before the construction phase begins. 

MODELING SOFTWARE

As part of our smoke control and CFD modeling services, the following software programs are used in collaboration to provide the accurate simulation results.

FDS and PyroSim for a smoke modeling

Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow developed by the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). Red Helmet Engineering use it in conjunction with Pyrosim which is developed by Thunderhead Engineering to work as an interface for the FDS. Pyrosim make the model built faster and efficient to better predict the smoke spread and better smoke control system.

Pathfinder for egress modeling

Pathfinder is a dynamic egress model developed by Thunderhead Engineering. The model simulates occupant movement toward exits similar to fluid flow, based on occupant movement speeds and flow rates over and through doors, stairs, and corridor spaces.

Red Helmet Engineering can provide a better evacuation plan by using the pathfinder modeling tool.

CONTAM for stair pressurization network modeling

Analysis of pressurization smoke control systems must take into account all of the smoke control systems in the building operating together as they would during a building fire. Red Helmet Engineering uses CONTAM software to analyze complex buildings. CONTAM is so extensively used for analyses of pressurization smoke control systems that it has become the de facto standard.
