Testing and Training Center where risk scenarios are reproduced every day and safety techniques and technologies are tested enriches the know-how of our consultants, designers, and maintainers
Their expertise in the most challenging areas of industrial firefighting, aviation, maritime and off-shore installations, brought back to the training center, allows our training to be strongly linked to the realities the trainees will face.
We experience the entire life cycle of systems
By integrating the design, installation and maintenance phase with the educational and training phase that sets us apart, we can act on all aspects of the Fire Management Systemorganically, choosing the best combination of solutions for the customer’s needs.
Our plant design, we are not only able to offer all the plant solutions for fire detection, control and extinguishing, in accordance with current, national and international reference standards and legislations-UNI, NFPA, FM-but we make the customer’s goal our own: to optimize the effort according to the risk.
A long experience serving the market
Apt Safety Group with its Plant Design services, starts from the identification of the most suitable type of system to be used, developing all the project phases, (Preliminary, Detailed and Executive) regarding all the plant solutions for fire detection, control and extinguishing, in accordance with the current regulations and legislations, national and international reference such as UNI, NFPA, FM, which are constantly monitored to offer its customers up-to-date solutions.
We carry out feasibility studies, technical reports, computerized hydraulic calculations, detailed technical and computometric specifications that define spending budgets, necessary for the client to best define their investments.

We install fire equipment and safety systems
A sprinkler system must work at the time of a fire, but how can you be sure that this will happen?
Regulations impose design criteria that ensure that this happens, but when the scenario becomes complex, having a test field like ours, where we can simulate the operation of systems, offers a powerful weapon in firefighting.
Apt ‘s experience in the chemical, pharmaceutical, off-shore and maritime fields attest to our organization’s ability to be able to guarantee the effectiveness of the installed fire detection and extinguishing systems and to ensure their regulatory and legislative compliance through proper practices and the preparation of all necessary documentation even in extremely challenging contexts.

The approach is based on the achievement of certain levels of safety cast in the specific performance (performance) that the building must demonstrate for the performance of the specific business activity and in the needs of the building user.
The approach is based on the achievement of certain levels of safety cast in the specific performance (performance) that the building must demonstrate for the performance of the specific business activity and in the needs of the building user.
This methodology can find wide application on structures with any degree of complexity,from the simplest single room to the high-rise building where businesses with very different uses reside, to buildings of special historical and cultural value.
Fire Safety Engineering Approach
Fire Safety Engineering can be defined as the engineering approach related to theAnalysis of fire evolutionary dynamics through computational models fluid dynamics (CFD).
It allows the simulation of the fire event applied in a targeted manner to the activity studied through the definition of all possible boundary conditions and the evaluation of all parameters suitable for verifying the actual levels of performance required and the identification of procedures/interventions to be adopted in order to achieve the set safety standards.
Application of the engineering approach includes studies of Life Safety, reconstruction of the natural fire curve as well as Fire Investigation and Fire Resistance (fire resistance of structures).
Thanks to the new simulators, test center laboratories and the ‘Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) engineering-performance approach, which is based on the actual simulation of fire through the application of suitable calculation models, we have taken the opportunity to innovate techniques, methodologies and tools in the field of fire prevention that allow us to identify the best adoptable solutions in the plant engineering field.
The solutions identified appear to be specific to the case study, resulting in economic benefits for the adjustment Of the activity by the client to the canons of fire safety engineering.
Certifying safety
Fire prevention and ICC
Activities considered medium and high risk (categories B and C) are compulsorily subjected to Fire Prevention Certification (CPI) at the design stage, according to Presidential Decree 151, which certifies their implementation of fire safety regulations.
What activities are subject to the Fire Prevention Certificate?
Category A - Low-risk activities
For this type of activities, it is not mandatory to ask the fire brigade to evaluate the project, and their inspections are carried out on a random basis; the owner of the activity can request the issuance of the technical inspection report; these are activities with a “technical rule” with a limited level of complexity.
Category B - Medium risk activities
It is compulsory to request project evaluation from the Fire Department; inspections are carried out on a random basis and the owner can request the issuance of the report; activities included in Category A are activities with a “technical rule” but with a higher degree of complexity, or without a “technical rule.”
Category C - High-risk activities
For these activities, it is mandatory to ask the Fire Department to assess the project; their inspections are mandatory and are functional for the issuance of the ICC; these are activities with a high level of complexity, regardless of the presence or absence of a “technical rule.”
