Our engineering approach
Regulations set the framework.
Engineering leads the way.
Fire safety design for demanding projects requires an integrated understanding of fire and smoke dynamics, building geometry, human behaviour and system performance — and how their interactions inform design decisions.
I.R.M Engineering combines accumulated professional experience with analytical tools, modelling and engineering judgement. We examine scenarios, assess alternatives and develop practical engineering solutions that integrate safety requirements with project constraints, operational needs and client objectives.
Our leadership and professional teamADVANCED FIRE ENGINEERING
Analyse the scenario.
Support the decision.
Modelling helps answer design questions: how smoke spreads, what this means for escape routes and how the safety strategy performs.
Understand developing fire and smoke conditions.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) supports assessment of smoke movement, heat distribution and smoke control system effects under design fire scenarios. The analysis helps evaluate visibility and tenability, and compare smoke management alternatives.
Examine how people reach a place of safety.
Evacuation models analyse occupant movement, pre-movement times, egress capacity and bottlenecks. Considering user characteristics and evacuation scenarios helps assess the required escape time and inform design decisions.
Connect the scenario, criteria and solution.
Engineering assessment combines safety objectives, design assumptions and evaluation criteria. This can include assessing available safe egress time (ASET) against required safe egress time (RSET), and the safety margin within the scenarios studied.

COMPLEXITY IS
OUR STARTING POINT.Illustrative image
OUR STARTING POINT.Illustrative image
Towers & mixed-use developments
Residential, workplace, retail and multi-use environments, with interfaces between occupants and systems.
Assembly & public buildings
Cultural venues, high-occupancy spaces and public institutions with diverse occupancy and evacuation characteristics.
Healthcare, industry & energy storage
Healthcare and educational institutions, industrial environments and energy storage facilities, alongside sites with specialist operational requirements.
These representative sectors illustrate the breadth of experience and are not an exhaustive list. They refer to the leadership's accumulated professional experience, including work before the company was established.
Design. Review. Professional dialogue.
We understand complexity.
From every side of the design table.
About our technical review Experience as consultants and technical reviewers working with authorities, public institutions and government bodies, and coordinating with clients, operators, developers and design teams — including international teams.
Familiarity with design and review processes helps identify material issues, explain the engineering basis of alternatives and support informed professional decisions.
Leadership & professional team
Engineering leadership.
A multidisciplinary team.
I.R.M Engineering operates through a professional team led by Eng. Itay Mesika, a safety engineer with 20 years of experience in fire safety engineering and technical leadership of diverse, demanding projects.
Throughout his career he has served as a technical director, senior consultant and design reviewer, leading safety design, assessing engineering solutions and coordinating with design teams, management and authorities. His experience includes rail and underground transportation infrastructure and buildings across many uses.
ADVANCED FIRE ENGINEERING EDUCATION
M.Sc. in Fire Protection Engineering (FPE)
California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), USA
He holds a bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from Ariel University and a master's degree in Management and Safety Engineering from Ben-Gurion University. His work combines analytical tools, fire, smoke and evacuation modelling, and knowledge of Israeli and international standards.
Complementary expertise. A coordinated team.
Under Itay Mesika’s leadership, the company team brings together fire safety, occupational safety and accessibility expertise. Working across disciplines connects analysis, design and technical review, supporting projects through construction, operation and occupancy.
