Sofidel Intertissue. HNLA Fire Engineering has recently concluded its third project for Intertissue. One of these was to carry out an analysis using computational fluid dynamics to evaluate the means of escape at the £70m Intertissue plant in South Wales. The factory is Europe’s most modern fully integrated paper mill and produces 600 million rolls of household tissue a year. The analysis enabled HNL to recommend changes to the fire strategy which resulted in savings in excess of £200,000.

 Intertissue Wales Millenium StadiumWales Millennium Stadium. A 72,500 capacity rugby stadium now developed into a full concert venue. Utilising sprinklers and ventilation, the design of the project incorporated the use of computational fluid dynamics in determining necessary levels of fire protection measures. Gareth worked on the project as the Major Projects Officer for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
South Wales Police Cardiff South Wales Police Cardiff Bay. This £20m landmark building will provide a new HQ and police station for South Wales Police. The project includes state of the art facilities and will house around 250 staff. The project includes a custody suite with 60 cells. HNLA Fire Engineering worked with The Police, Stradform and Capita to provide an overall fire strategy which balances a requirement for security with fire safety.

Quinn Therm. HNLA Fire Engineering provided a full fire strategy for the design of an 86,000m2 facility to manufacture Polyisocyanurate and Polyurethane insulation panels. The use of computational analysis enabled HNLA to overcome problems with distances to exits from the building whilst saving building costs.
