NIER Ingegneria

NIER Ingegneria S.p.A. Società Benefit is an engineering consultancy based in Castel Maggiore (Bologna) that covers risk management, HSE, RAMS and business continuity. Its fire safety engineering service applies the performance-based method of the Codice di prevenzione incendi (DM 3/8/2015, chapters M.1-M.3). It uses NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and ASET/RSET life-safety criteria. Published case studies include an FDS pool-fire analysis showing that a steel process platform needed no intumescent coating (UNI EN 1993-1-2). Another shows a dead-end escape route meeting ASET > RSET without reducing occupancy.
