Fire
and Gas Detection Mapping - Computer aided design to increase
safety and reduce cost - Kevin Keefe - Using highly developed assessment
methods together with custom software the flame detection assessment, gas
detection assessment and heat detection assessment packages are able to review
and assess arrangements from initial designs through construction and onto
existing installation. The assessments are used to optimise and validate designs
and maybe used in formal safety studies - from Micropack. ( Go to page 20)
