Extra safety measures

Risks related to external safety can have major consequences for the design of buildings. For example, materials resistant to explosions may have to be used, additional preconditions for a safe evacuation have to be taking into account, or additional requirements for the ventilation system are needed.

For the process it is important to be able to determine and mitigate these consequences in advance. Our consultants can reveal these risks early on, thereby preventing the forced incorporation of unwanted measures further on in the process.
