Fire Stopping and Compartmentation

Our standard fire compartmentation survey covers the following:

• An inspection of the overall condition of the existing fire compartments
• An assessment of the condition and effectiveness of the sealing of wall / soffit interfaces
• An inspection of existing fire seals applied to service penetrations through fire compartment lines
• An assessment of the materials used to seal existing service penetrations / linear joints
• The presence of any damage to fire compartment lines
• The presence of any unprotected structural steelwork within fire compartments
• The presence of fire dampers within ducts passing through designated fire compartment lines
• Where fire dampers are present an assessment of the positioning and fixing methods used
• An assessment of the materials and methods used to construct any dry lined walls which form part of the fire compartmentation
• An assessment of any specific issues relating to the ability to reinstate fire compartmentation
• Remedial work based upon the report can be undertaken
