Dislocating Promises

How Digitization Organizes and How Organizations Digitize in Fire Safety

This project is being executed as an industial PhD in association with the University of Copenhagen. The project focuses on the digitisation of fire safety and the development of digital tools and expert systems.

Documented fire safety

DBI will develop and strengthen the technological infrastructure and the technological services for the documentation of the fire safety and fireproof design of components and systems for use in buildings or ships. The aim is to give Danish companies easy access to the latest knowledge concerning fireproof design, as well as fire testing, to document compliance with the statutory requirements.

Decision-making support for easy digital project design of fire safety

The aim is to contribute to increasing the construction sector's productivity by digitising the processes for the project design of fireproofing. This is a focus area for companies, as well as organisations and authorities. Today, project design companies often have to involve expensive and time-consuming external expertise.

Technical fire prototype laboratory for new construction products

DBI wishes to develop a new technological service which will increase accuracy, minimise costs and shorten the time-to-market when new construction products need to undergo fire testing. The aim is to enhance producers' competitiveness and exports, and to support the creation of new workplaces.

Course: cybersecurity and social engineering

The project comprises collaboration between DBI and KEA to develop two courses in cybersecurity. The content will span from the human factors in Social Engineering, to physical security with electronic surveillance, locks and door alarms.

Dogana

The aim of the DOGANA project is to define organisations' vulnerability to Social Engineering (SE) and also to reduce the risks related to Social Engineering.

Improver

The aim of the project is to develop guidelines and methods to make critical infrastructures more resilient in the face of a disaster.

Numerical modelling of facade systems in fire to assist certification testing

This industrial postdoc is taking place in collaboration with Lund University. The aim of the project is to develop a numerical model to assess façade systems' performance in the event of fire.

Trailer cat

The aim is to reduce costs for trailers by 50%, and a 70% reduction of CO2 emissions per trailer. In addition, the market must be analysed and a business case developed. This will serve as a good basis for negotiation between partners, customers, ports, shipyards, ministries, etc.

Fire Forecaster

The aim of this project is to use the concept of artificial neural networks and historical fire testing data sets as input parameters to build up a forecasting model to define the fire resistance of a maritime bulkhead exposed to a standard fire from one side.

FFAT

The aim of the FFAT (Façade Fire Assessment Tool) project is to help producers to overcome the existing legislative barriers to fire safety by launching the first commercial tool to assess façade elements' potential to achieve European and Asian test certification.

Facade testing

The project covers the development of a new testing method for the phases of a fire, with focus on the need to reduce the testing scale and to use performance-based assessments.

Fire detect

Fire Detect's aim is to develop and test an innovative and secure fire detection system based on new and advanced laser technology. The system will be able to identify very small temperature increases at a very early stage of a fire, ensuring early and reliable detection of fires.

Smoke and toxicity at sea

The project's overall purpose is to achieve a basis for a future Danish strategy for FRP components for maritime construction. This will be achieved by documenting any safety risks in relation to the smoke emissions of approved FRP products. The project's results will hereby contribute to strengthening fire safety on vessels with FRP components.

Project Fire Causes

The purpose of the Project Fire Causes was to achieve improved fire safety in private homes. The project mapped out the data that was registered in relation to building fire by a number of key players and gathered knowledge that was outside the scope of the registration systems for the causes of fires and the risk behaviour of damaged building elements etc.

Fire Tools

The aim of the project is to create computer simulation tools, methods and models to make optimum use of the traditional expensive and time-consuming fire testing.

The InnoBYG Spire Project: The fire effect of bio-based facade systems

The purpose of the project was to illustrate and document the contextual fire safety of selected facade systems constructed with bio-based materials with a view to achieving a greater area of application.

COMPASS

The purpose of the COMPASS project was to facilitate the design process for passenger vessels in lightweight composites for shipyards, suppliers and shipping companies. The purpose was also to facilitate the approval process for civil vessels with lightweight composite components.

The InnoBYG Spire Project: Densified construction with light materials

The InnoBYG Spire Project: "Densification of construction using light construction systems with timber load-bearing elements" has worked on the subject by gathering knowledge from external contributors for, and by producing a catalogue of examples of the densification of an existing stock of buildings.

Social Engineering and Vulnerability Assessment Framework (SAVE)

The aim of the project was to show that Social Engineering is a threat to the critical infrastructure in Denmark, and also to make recommendations for handling this risk.

Stronger technical security infrastructure

The aim of the project was to strengthen Denmark's technical security infrastructure

MAT - Risk assessment of new materials

The purpose of the project was to promote the introduction of new materials in the construction industry and 'Blue Denmark' without compromising fire safety.

BIS - Fire technology innovation support

The purpose of the project was to make leading fire technology knowledge and laboratory facilities available to Danish companies.

SmokeSense

The aim of the development of the new sensor technology is to meet the need to improve the sensors' reaction time and sensitivity, and thereby reduce the costs and damage due to fire.

Lightship

The aim of the project was to gain an overview of and disseminate the knowledge available concerning commercial ship construction in FRP, by involving relevant operators in the maritime value chain.

Disaster

The aim of the project was to develop a data model to help the emergency services to communicate better. The project focused on symbols exchanged on maps. For example, the symbol for fire can vary from country to country.

The InnoBYG project "Fire and construction materials"

The purpose of the project was to build up and disseminate knowledge on how construction materials with weak fire technical properties, for example, plastic and foam materials, can be used while taking account of fire safety in the building.

SOS project

The aim of the project was to develop business and growth through ICT-based services, and to disseminate the technologies and working methods to other sectors.
