Openings around cables, pipes and building services can compromise the separation intended to restrict fire and smoke spread. Work added over time often makes the original construction and repair history difficult to establish.
Vraxor helps define and coordinate passive fire protection work, including fire stopping around service penetrations and appropriate remedial work. We start by establishing the relevant construction, required performance and available records. Further investigation may be necessary where the substrate or concealed detail is unknown.
A suitable solution depends on the complete detail: the wall or floor, opening size, services passing through and the evidence supporting the proposed system. A generic product description or a layer of sealant alone is not a specification.
The agreed work should be supported by location records, photographs and product information appropriate to its scope. Access restrictions and concealed areas are recorded, with further actions identified rather than assumed complete.
