// NOTES

Notes on high-rise evacuation.

Three articles are planned. Titles and outlines are set; the copy is written once you approve the angle — nothing is published under your name without review.

Drop: stairwell or smoke-movement reference image

EVACUATION — DRAFT

Why the stairwell stops being an exit within minutes

Smoke movement in a single-core tower, what that means for evacuation time, and where a personal descent route fits.

Drop: certificate or test-rig photograph

STANDARDS — DRAFT

What EN 341:2011 Class C actually certifies

Reading a descender certificate: classes, types, rated load, descent energy, and which numbers matter on site.

Drop: drawing, anchor detail or site photograph

DESIGN — DRAFT

Specifying descent points during design, not after handover

Anchor structure, clear drop and access — the decisions that are cheap on the drawing and expensive on the finished tower.
