I am pleased to share that I have successfully completed the "Edge of Slab Fire Protection" webinar, organized by Hilti Bangladesh. This certificate of accomplishment was awarded in recognition of my professional achievement in enhancing my understanding of fire protection systems in structural engineering.
Why Fire Protection Matters
In high-rise and complex building projects, fire safety is not just a regulatory requirement—it is a life-saving design priority. As structural engineers, we must go beyond ensuring structural stability; we must also integrate fire-resilient solutions that protect both occupants and property. Fire can spread quickly through slab edges, floor openings, and façade connections, making edge of slab fire protection a critical area in building safety.
Key Learnings from the Webinar
The session, led by Samira Ali, Fire Protection Consultant at Hilti Bangladesh, provided valuable insights into:
-
The importance of slab edge firestopping in preventing vertical fire spread.
-
Design standards and best practices for edge of slab fire protection.
-
Innovative Hilti solutions for ensuring compliance with international fire safety codes.
-
Practical applications in high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, and industrial structures.
Adding Value to My Engineering Journey
This training builds on my ongoing commitment to professional growth in structural engineering and construction management. Alongside my experience in RCC structural works, shear wall casting, and rainwater harvesting systems, learning advanced fire protection measures broadens my ability to design and manage projects with a holistic safety perspective.
Looking Ahead
As cities grow vertically, the need for fire-safe building design becomes even more urgent. I look forward to applying these insights to future projects, ensuring that safety remains at the forefront of engineering solutions.
A special thanks to Hilti Bangladesh for organizing such an insightful session, and to Samira Ali for her expert guidance.
