From the IFE Singapore branch
Join the IFE Singapore branch at the Holiday Inn City Centre, Singapore for a two-day seminar on two different topics; Tunnel Fire Safety and Forensic Fire Engineering.
Please note that registration for this seminar closes on the 19th of August. Registration also includes a fee for non-members and a discounted fee for members.
Day One
The first day of the seminar will cover tunnel fire safety. Topics covered will be design fires for tunnels, smoke spread and management and the safe evacuation of tunnel occupants.
Program
- 08:30-10:30 - Design fires for tunnels
- 10:30-10:45 - Coffee break
- 10:45-12:15 - Tunnel Fire Dynamics (Part 1)
- 12:15-13:15 - Lunch
- 13:15-15:45 - Tunnel Fire Dynamics (Part 2)
- 15:45-16:00 - Coffee break
- 16:00-18:00 Tenability (FED/FEC) assessment for tunnels
Day Two
The second day of the seminar will cover forensic fire engineering. Attendees will get an introduction to the use of fire engineering tools and methods, e.g. evacuation modelling and CFS, for forensic investigation of accidents.
Program
- 08:30-10:30 - The Expert Witness Process & Fire and Smoke Spread Reconstruction (Part 1)
- 10:30-10:45 - Coffee break
- 10:45-12:45 - Fire and Smoke Spread Reconstruction (Part 2)
- 12:45-13:45 - Fire and Smoke Spread Reconstruction (Part 3) & Evacuation Timeline Reconstruction (Part 1)
- 15:45-16:00 - Coffee break
- 16:00-18:00 - Evacuation Timeline Reconstruction (Part 2)
