Tenos services are underpinned by internationally recognised standards. Our quality management systems conform, and have been accredited to, the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Passive Fire Protection (PFP) is an important component of fire safety strategy. The inspection of PFP forms part of a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. PFP is designed to protect life by providing an adequate means of escape from a building in the event of a fire.

Managing fire safety starts with the initial design of a building and continues through to handover. At Tenos, our Chartered Engineers work closely with architects and developers to design safe buildings at every stage of construction. Significant construction cost savings can be achieved if fire engineering is introduced during the early stages of a design;.

We handle an increasing number of cases dealing with matters of alleged defects in building fire precautions. These include residential, health care, education, commercial, storage and industrial buildings. These may breach the requirements of the Building Contract or fail to achieve the level of fire safety required by statutory regulations.
