The EMOS tower located on the north side of the Tait Mackenzie building records wind speed using an anemometer at a height of 10 meters. Ideally, a tower should be installed in open terrain with no obstructions. Finding such a site is difficult, but corrections can be made to the measured wind speeds. If we are provided with the distances and direction in degrees true to both the left and right extremities of the obstacle as seen from the tower, together with the obstacle heights, we can use the software package ShelCor, from Zephyr North, to evaluate how much we have to modify the wind speed from different directions details are in the paper by Taylor and Salmon, The tower has been installed in the center of a traffic circle.

The fire risk level of any building also depends on its structural design — that is, the capacity of its materials to resist fire. Different materials receive different fire ratings in each design. For example, steel buildings are normally required to have structural elements such as beams or columns that can stand for one to two hours with the help of fire protection material such intumescent paint, which swells up when heated to protect the material beneath. According to reports, the key structural components of Grenfell Tower are mostly made of concrete — a material which rates highly in terms of fire resistance.

While other materials can buckle in high temperatures, concrete structures can help to prevent the collapse of a building in case of fire, as well as making it safer to use helicopters — which can dump up to 9, litres of water at a time — to extinguish the blaze. The material used for the cladding was primarily aluminium , which is not fire resistant.

In truth, most old buildings do not conform to the latest guidelines for fire safety design, so it is imperative to update them by installing sprinklers, fire alarms and extra fire evacuation staircases. While those affected may have to wait for some time before the causes of the fire become clear and responsibility is taken, landlords and local councils can act now to help prevent another disaster of this scale from happening again.
