Fire compartmentation

Here at Kudos Fire Protection, we also offer something called fire compartmentation. This is an assessment of the necessity for compartmentation of a building for its suitability in containing smoke and fires together with the protection of escape routes. This is an essential factor in the safety and performance of a building if there is an emergency caused by fire.

Kudos Fire Protection can offer a range of fire-stopping compartmentation solutions, whether it is for an individual building or for multiple building complexes and sites. We can undertake the preparation of a detailed report on these elements, identifying the risks and give feedback on what needs to be actioned and improved. We will ensure that the compartmentation provided will be in compliance with the latest building and fire safety regulations.

An example of failed compartmentation performance would be where pipework may be entering or exiting a compartment element with gaps due to oversized penetrations. This would allow smoke or fire to pass from one compartment to another, causing it to spread quickly and causing greater damage and endangering people in the building. In this instance, had Kudos Fire Protection been engaged to undertake a survey inspection, then these defects in the level of protection would have been identified and rectification could have been administered. Contact us today to get your building inspected for adequate and safe fire compartmentation.
