To reduce the current burden on UK industry in the procurement of efficient and economical construction projects, which apply the latest technology associated with structural fire engineering, this web site has been developed at the University of Manchester supported by a Dti ‘Partners in Innovation’initiative. Support is also provided by twelve industrial partners representing the steel, concrete, timber and masonry sectors as well as representatives from leading design consultancies, approving bodies, the fire brigade and professional institutions.

The site was developed under the direction of a Steering Group with representatives from the following organisations:

The Institution of Structural Engineers
Building Control, City of London
ODPM
Fire Engineering Group (representing the views of the Fire Brigade)
Arup Fire
Buro Happold
The Concrete Centre
Corus
British Constructional Steelwork Association
Concrete Block Association.
Chiltern Fire (representing TRADA)
Building Research Establishment
Alan Baxter & Associates
Brick Development Association
British Cement Association
