Optimizing Fire Safety Measures in Construction through Digital Twin Technology

Fire safety remains a critical concern in construction, prompting stakeholders to seek innovative methods to reduce fire risks and enhance safety for both life and property. Digital twin technology has emerged as a transformative approach for real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and proactive risk mitigation. This study investigates the application of digital twins to improve fire safety protocols in construction and quantities the significant benefits derived from such implementation. The primary outcome includes a reduction in response times to potential fire incidents, critical for safeguarding assets and personnel. Digital twins create virtual models of real structures, enabling real-time monitoring and swift action during fire incidents. This promotes fire safety by enhancing emergency preparedness and exposure resilience. Additionally, digital twins improve hazard prediction accuracy, allowing stakeholders to identify and address potential fire hazards promptly, thereby enhancing overall project safety.
