Many regulatory authorities now require site-specific fire safety plans, verification of their implementation and an assessment of the installed fire safety systems prior to commissioning.
As an independent partner for engineering services and consultancy, DMT develops fire safety concepts for wind turbines and wind farms across Germany that are eligible for approval. Our experts take into account both regional requirements and site-specific risks, creating solutions that balance safety, cost-effectiveness and regulatory requirements.
Thanks to our extensive expertise, close coordination with planners, developers and regulatory authorities, and the development of bespoke solutions, we find exactly the right balance between safety and cost-effectiveness for you – regardless of the turbine manufacturer.
In addition, we also undertake the verification of the implementation of the fire safety measures set out in the fire safety concept on your behalf.
When erecting wind turbines, it is essential to understand what optimal fire safety entails and what facilities must be in place to achieve it.
DMT’s fire safety concepts take into account not only statutory requirements but, in particular, aspects of usage and economic criteria. The result is a bespoke package that combines regulatory requirements with specific needs.
As well as drawing up the concept, we support the implementation of the defined measures and assess their effectiveness.
By involving our experts at an early stage, we can provide efficient support for approval processes and minimise risks during subsequent operation.
Our experts will advise you on the preparation, review and implementation of site-specific fire safety plans and support your project from the planning stage right through to commissioning.

As traditional building law is primarily designed for buildings, wind turbines are regarded as unregulated special structures and are additionally subject to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery and amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast). The distinction between national building law and international law is not clear-cut. Consequently, questions arise regarding fire safety, which are clarified by a site-specific fire safety plan.
The construction or modification of wind turbines usually requires a permit under the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). The BImSchG application required for this usually also includes the application under building regulations (building application), for which a professional fire safety certificate or a so-called fire safety concept must be submitted.
In the absence of specific regulations, the focus is on the general formulation of protection objectives and the derivation of fire safety measures from these on a case-by-case basis.
