Check the opening
Check the opening, substrate, services and gap against the specified installation detail.
Passive fire protection
Fire stopping & compartmentation.
Fire stopping around lift entrances, shaft junctions and service penetrations. We install the specified systems and record the location, products and completed work.
Fire stopping around lifts
Fire stopping with installation records.
Lift replacement and building alterations can leave gaps in fire-resisting walls and floors. These need to be checked against the project’s fire-stopping details.
We prepare the opening, install the agreed system and keep photographs and product records. If the site conditions differ from the specified detail, we raise the issue before proceeding.
Preparing the surfaces
Remove loose material and debris, then prepare the surfaces for the agreed system.
Specified products and details
Install compatible products to the specified detail and the manufacturer’s requirements.
Entrances and shaft areas
Seal the agreed gaps at lift entrances, shaft junctions and service penetrations.
Photos and product records
Record the location and products used, with photographs of the installation.
Installation records
Provide the agreed installation records so the project team can identify the completed work.
Quality control
Fire performance depends on the detail.
- Correct product system confirmed before use
- Substrate and opening prepared correctly
- Installed depth and arrangement checked
- Photographic records retained
- Variations raised rather than improvised
Discuss the fire-stopping scope.
Send the fire-stopping specification, locations and photographs so we can review the work.
