As lead fire safety engineer, Mark worked closely with the Client, Sydney Church of England Girls’ Grammar School (or S.C.E.G.G.S.) in various projects, from the extension and refurbishment of the library facilities to the fire safety audit and upgrade to existing parts of the building that has been operation for 125 years. Mark carried out a risk assessment and reviewed existing active and passive fire safety measures as well as liaising with the Client and architects in gaining a full understanding of the buildings unique design features.
As part of this, Mark had to recognise not only the Heritage nature of the existing building in question, but also the impact of neighbouring buildings, equally of heritage significance and as such reviewing the impact to and from each building from a fire safety viewpoint as part of the upgrade works.
