About IBS – Technisches Büro
IBS – Technisches Büro GmbH, headquartered in Linz, is an engineering and testing company for preventive fire protection and prevention of elementary damage. Its range of services includes fire protection concepts and expert reports, accompanying quality assurance of structural fire protection on construction sites, fire protection and escape route plans as well as fire inspections outside Upper Austria. Using the simulation tool ProSim, fire tests for component development, fire simulations and fire smoke simulations of buildings, escape route analyses and calculations of fire-related temperature effects, for example on haul and track ropes of cableways and high-voltage lines, are carried out. Another area is slope water and surface water prevention with simulation calculations of runoff during heavy rain. Customers include architects and planners, developers and building owners, manufacturers of construction products, cableway and rail transport operators, public administration, municipalities and insurance companies. The company is certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 and is listed in the Austrian Supplier Register (ANKÖ-LgU, company code 55704).

Processes and Methods
Fire test simulation (ProSim)
Virtual modelling of component developments (e.g. doors, gates) to assess temperature transmission and deformation prior to the costly and time-consuming fire test.
Fire simulations of buildings
Protection-goal-oriented, object-specific fire protection concepts and dimensioning of components, smoke extraction systems and escape routes instead of rigid prescriptive rules.
Fire smoke simulations
Verification of smoke and heat extraction systems and smoke extraction concepts with validated computational models.
Escape route simulations
Investigation of people flows, evacuation times and congestion in buildings and on open areas.
Surface water/slope water simulations
Determination of runoff areas and hazards during heavy rain using simulation models and surface water maps.
