Understanding the Scale of Major Incidents
Consequence modelling is a vital process for understanding the potential scale of major incidents such as loss of containment, fires, explosions, and toxic releases. It enables organisations to quantify the impact to people, plant, and the surrounding environment, particularly for major hazard facilities where consequences can escalate rapidly and across large distances.
At Safety Solutions, we provide detailed consequence modelling to support decision-making, risk reduction, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The Problem – Why Understanding Consequences Matters
Without a robust safety assessment that includes explosion modelling, fire modelling, and dispersion modelling, organisations face:
- Underestimating Hazards – The real extent of fire, explosion, or toxic release impacts may be far greater than expected.
- Unprepared Emergency Response – Without accurate modelling, emergency plans may not protect personnel, assets, and the environment.
- Regulatory Non-Compliance – Many industries require evidence-based consequence assessments to meet safety legislation and standards.
Our Approach – Comprehensive Consequence Modelling Services
We combine advanced commercial software with proven in-house methodologies to model a wide range of hazardous scenarios and escalation pathways. Our services provide a clear, defensible basis for safety planning, facility design, and regulatory approval.
We Specialise In:
- Pool Fire Modelling – Simulating heat radiation and spread from flammable liquid spills.
- Jet Fire Modelling – Assessing the thermal impact from high-velocity flammable gas or liquid releases.
- Flash Fire Modelling – Evaluating short-duration ignition of flammable vapour clouds.
- Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE) Modelling – Quantifying blast overpressure and heat radiation from explosive vapour clouds.
- Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE) Modelling – Predicting fireball size, blast pressure, and heat effects.
- Toxic Release Modelling – Simulating the dispersion of hazardous gases and chemicals, including fire-exacerbated releases.
- Fragmentation Modelling – Assessing the dispersal of debris from explosions.
- Warehouse Fire Modelling – Analysing heat spread and escalation potential in enclosed storage areas.
