SYNOPSIS

Paper 1
Latest Fire Engineering Concept and Design
(Including Underground Car Park Ventilation Concept and Design)
This paper talks about the latest fire engineering concept and design for built-environment covering fundamentals of fire science and fire behaviour; video of full scale investigation of  room fire including the phenomenon of flash over; fire hazards and fire risks; fire safety engineering design considerations; International fire incident case studies; fire engineering fundamentals; understanding smoke behaviour and mitigation measures; highlight of BS7346:Part 7 - underground car park smoke ventilation design; practical approach and best industrial practice for fire detection and alarm system.

Paper 2
Fire Detection and Alarm System Concept and Design
This paper will talk about incorporating fire safety engineering aspect into fire detection and alarm system; types of fire detection and fire alarm system; detection and alarm system design concept; fire detection in high air flow environment (data/server centre); types of audio alarm signals; most effective audio fire alarm signal; efficient mounting of audio alarm unit to achieved maximum delivering of audio alarm signal; coverage area of audio alarm signals; understanding of audio alarm signal as an acoustic sound energy; the impact of ambient noise on audibility of fire alarm signal; incorporating human behaviour in to mass evacuation design; performance-based design redefinition of RSET and ASET.


SPEAKER

Mr. Hao-giang Tay FIFireE
Deputy President
The Institution of Fire Engineers (UK) Malaysia Branch

Mr. H.G Tay is a qualified and experienced Fire Engineer. He is a graduate of Heriot-Watt University and a graduate of University of Edinburgh, Scotland with a Master of Science Degree in Fire Safety Engineering.

As the principal fire consultant of Fire Safety Engineering firm, he has vast knowledge and over 34 years of experience in fire engineering. His firm provides advice and consultancy service to corporate clients with a holistic approach to sustainable fire safety engineering and business continuity. He is also involved in performance-based fire safety design. His specialties lies in practical modern fire engineering concept and design in terms of fire risk assessment and management; fire protection engineering, life safety and mass evacuation design; mitigation of fire hazards and fire risks, emergency response planning and management.

Mr. HG Tay is the Deputy President of The Institution of Fire Engineers Malaysia Branch, Past International President and a member of the Board of Directors. He is an active member of LinkedIn professional network promoting the Institution as well as sharing fire safety engineering knowledge and experience with all fire professionals in the world.

Actively involved in Malaysian Standards development for more than two decades, his technical committee has developed series of performance-based National Standards for the Malaysian fire industry. He co-authored the technical reference book “Guide to Fire Protection in Malaysia” which is an explanatory guide to Malaysian Building Regulation. Guide to Fire Protection in Malaysia is now an official guide for fire officers, professional engineers and architects, developers, contractors, building owners, students, etc.

On the personal level, he has conducted many studies to establish the way forward for sustainable fire engineering concept and published these findings. He is one of the panel CPD lecturers for Fire and Rescue Department Malaysia, The Institution of Architects Malaysia as well as The Institution of Engineers Malaysia. He has also been invited for IEM and ACEM seminars and conferences.

He has been invited as an International speaker at Fire conferences in countries such as United States of America, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, India, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Scotland, South Africa, Netherland, Republic of Ireland and U.A.E. His latest paper “Integrated Fire Safety Engineering – The Way Forward” was delivered at the Europe Fire Advisory Forum 2013, Prague, Republic of Czechoslovakia.
