The CSIRO fire safety engineering team have successfully provided servicees for a wide range of buildings and infrastructure projects over the last 30 years in Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia and China. These projects have include a wide range of building uses and classifications and also include rail, rolling stock, bushfire and many tunnelling projects. CSIRO also provide Hot Smoke Test as part of commissioning and certification services.

Successful Projects

	Star City Footprint approximately 40,000 m2 , Overall floor area in excess of 200,000 m2. Five levels of casino activities and other entertainment; Four levels of underground car parking; Two ten storey towers, one a hotel and the other apartments
	Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre   The Oriental Arts Centre is an assembly building used for performance purposes. It contains seven (7) levels, among which two (2) levels are underground and five (5) levels are above ground. The effective height of the building is 34m above the ground.
	Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre   The Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (SZCEC) is a large space building that will be used for large exhibitions and conferences. The exhibition halls are at the ground level and are in a one-storey structure extending 540m in length and 282m in width. The arched roof of the structure is from 12.5m high at the end of the façade to 30m high at the longitude centreline. Inside the structure there is a two-storey construction along the full length of the longitude centreline of the main structure, with a width of 40m.
	Plenty Valley Town Centre – shopping centre   The plenty Valley Town Centre project for Westfield is a large single level retail building built on a green fields site and incoroporating major stores, mini majors, food court and extensive malls.. The project won the design team the Urban Development Institute of Australia, Awards for Excellence 2009 – Master Planned Development Category..The project achieved a 5 star energy efficiency rating with many sustainable building design elements.
	Kuala Lumpur Sentral rail station and Sentral Lot E. The KL Sentral rail station and including Lot E Complex consists of five blocks of mixed use which includes retail, offices, extensive Food & Beverage, auditoria and car parking located in the east portion of the Kuala Lumpur Sentral Rail Station development. The LEED rated green building features naturally ventilated atriums augmented with high flow low velocity fans, green space at ground level and roof deck and connection to adjacent building. These issue were evaluated and approved through Performance Based Fire Safety Engineering.
	Integrated Transport Terminal The Main Terminal Building (MTB) of the Integrated Transport Terminal. (ITT) serves as the primary building for this transport hub and was integrated with existing passenger transport infrastructure. The complex comprises carparking areas and general vehicle across roads on Level 1, 5 and 6; arrival and departure areas on Level 2, passenger pickup/drop off and retail tenancies on Level 3 and retail food court and department stores on Level 4. The large compartments required for effective function required Fire Safety Engineering.
	Myer Head office Melbourne The Myer head office at 800 Collins Street, Melbourne is an iconic building and flagship for the retail chain. The multi storey building required several fire safety engineering strategies partly to address the Sustainability initiatives for the building which include an east facing atrium with interconnecting stair, maximizing natural light penetration and reducing lift use. There is also a gas fired co-generation plant which will produce about 30 per cent of the base building’s electricity requirements.
