Fire protection is the process of sealing gaps, openings, apertures and penetrations in and above fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings.
There are gaps in the building, which are often created around the pipes, cables, ducts, and vents which provide communications services and utilities to a building, allow fire, gas, smoke, and heat to travel between different parts of the building.
Compliant fire protection creates a barrier around these openings, preventing fire from spreading and works to maintain the structural integrity of the building.
Without adequate fire protection, these openings become weak points in the building’s fire resistance, allowing fire to easily pass through. This can compromise the safety of occupants and the overall integrity of the building.
Fire protection is essential for maintaining a building’s safety features and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations.
Compartmentation involves dividing a building into smaller, fire-resistant sections. This process helps to contain fires within one area, preventing it from spreading across the entire building. Compartmentation also allows more time for people to safely evacuate premises and minimises damage, by keeping the fire confined to one, or as few sections as possible.
By creating fire-resistant compartments, compartmentation ensures that fires stays within a specific area, reducing the risk of fire spreading to other parts of a building. This method of containment is a critical safety feature for both new builds and renovations. Correct compartmentation can significantly limit the spread of fire, harmful toxic gases and smoke, reducing risk to life and property.
Our fire protection services, also referred to as compartmentation, ensure that fire-resistant barriers are effectively integrated into your building’s structure. Fire protection is crucial to preventing the spread of fire through gaps, joints, and penetrations in walls, floors, and ceilings.
