We have a Large Scale Fire Testing Digital Laboratory for Façades, Fire Digital Laboratory, that enables fire performance assessment.
We carry out external spread, reaction and resistance to fire tests on façade systems and their components. BS 8414, NFPA 285 and CAN ULC S134.
Services
The Fire Digital Lab is a pioneering laboratory digitally connected to the client allowing them to view the tests in progress via multi-streaming without the need to travel to our facilities. The client will be able to monitor images and test data both live and recorded via the myTecnalia digital platform.
