PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION.

UK building regulations require that any new buildings or refurbishments take account of passive fire protection. Passive fire protection is based on the idea of compartmentalisation. This is a way of designing buildings so that fire is contained in specific areas. By slowing down the spread of fire through a building compartmentalisation allows time for people to escape and reduces structural damage so that the building is less likely to collapse. Passive fire resistance is particularly important in larger buildings such as tower blocks and in building which are likely to have high evacuation times such as hospitals. Most passive fire protection systems are rated according to the amount of time they are designed to contain a fire for.

FIRE
STOPPING.

Any gaps within fire compartment walls & floors have to be sealed with suitable fire stopping materials. If not then the integrity of the compartment wall becomes compromised. We have many different types of fire stopping materials available for any type of compromised situation.

Fire stopping is all about containment. Firewalls and rated floors are designed to stop the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases. Any time a fire rated substrate is interrupted (or penetrated) the rating is taken away. As firestop installers, we are charged with restoring the integrity back to fire rated substrates (i.e. walls, floors, and occasionally roofs).

Fire stopping uses specific tested and proven assemblies to restore the substrate rating. These assemblies are commonly known as UL Systems.

The majority of our work is related to installing UL Systems applicable to MEP penetrations through gypsum walls and concrete floors. We also commonly install fire caulking systems at the top and bottom of gypsum, or block/concrete walls, to ensure transmission resistance of smoke & toxic gases. We also install fire barriers at the edge of slab on multi-story buildings with bypass situations such as Curtain Wall.

Pipe collars and wraps
Pipe collars are manufactured from a high performance material bonded to the inside of a steel sleeve, which on exposure to heat from a fire will rapidly expand inwards to squeeze the collapsing plastic pipe until the aperture is completely sealed.

Putty Pads
Putty pads are a non-setting, silicone based product which is designed to reinstate the fire integrity of the wall when penetrated by an electrical backing box, eliminating the requirement for a baffle box. Putty Pads are Easy to install, Maintains the acoustic integrity and offer up to 2 hours resistance.

Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent Batts are a cost effective, lightweight answer to most fire stopping requirements and consist of a mineral fibre board coated with an elastomeric, ablative water based sealant for fire sealing temporary and permanent multiple-service openings in walls and floors. In the event of a fire, the correctly installed batts prevent the passage of fire and smoke from the compartment wall/floor when penetrated by building services. Intumescent Batts offer up to 4 hours fire resistance and acoustic ratings up to 59Db.
