Passive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection is one of the most important considerations that has to be taken into account when designing and building all new builds in Ireland. It is fundamental, and careful consideration has to be taken in finding the best solution for upgrading existing buildings.
When done correctly, It helps prevent the loss or damage to the most important element of all buildings, which is its occupants.
It is key to stopping or slowing the spread of fire in the building, to allow its occupants to safely egress from the building, and allowing the emergency services to isolate their efforts in saving the building, and its contents.
The correct passive fire protection solution will also reduce the amount of damage caused to the building, by preventing it from collapse, protecting its contents, and providing protection to any neighbouring structures.
Passive fire protection is a combination of fire resistant materials, and infrastructure fire design to allow the inclusion of fire rated partitions, fire resistant cavity barriers, fire resistant services and passive fire protection.
This results in the protection of the infrastructure, and the provision of safe zones and safe escape routes, for its occupants.
We supply 3rd party accredited systems from the leading tested manufacturers, and our experience in working with the buildings assigned certifiers to provide custom solutions for nonstandard applications is unrivalled.
Structural Fire Protection
The internal service integration to modern buildings carries a large stress on modern steel constructed buildings.
The protection from fire on the steel structure is fundamentally the most important element of fire protection to the structure itself, preventing collapse of the structure, and providing safety to the occupied personnel, and safeguarding the essential services.
We use only the best tested fire resistant paints on the market, backed up by our quality control in examination of DFT’s, and recording of these on our mobile app system.
We also supply calcium, and rockwool based boarding systems to provide comprehensive details in all scenarios for the complete protection of all structural steel in any building design.
Air Tightness
Air integrity sealing forms an integral part of all modern buildings.
It’s function is to stop the exchange of air from controlled environments, to allow the HVAC system to control the level of comfort for its occupants, as large buildings in cold weather can consume a large amount of energy to meet the heating standards required in a building, and equally in warm weather air conditioning units are using less output in maintaining the same standards.
This work forms part of an energy saving plan for clients of a building, and is fundamental in helping our environment, by reducing the building's carbon footprint.
We strive to achieve the lowest level of air leakage and work closely with our clients to give the best solution in all scenarios.
Cavity Barriers
Cavity barriers form an integral design in all buildings with regard to effectively compartmentalising façades, attics, Raised Access Floors, and false ceiling voids.
Cavity barriers are the key to stopping fire/smoke spread in all the hidden compartments in modern building construction
.
Our knowledge in installing these types of barriers, and understanding modern facade design with ventilated cavities, water tightness and a multitude of facade elements, is key to our portfolio.
From iconic buildings to the tallest buildings in Ireland, we have seen, and successfully completed a multitude of barriers for every scenario in building design.
