Early detection of failures
Documented report with recommendations for correction
Monitoring and control after repairs
Why is it important to check fire barriers in existing buildings?
Fire barriers are designed to compartmentalize the building and limit the spread of fire and smoke in the event of a fire. In existing buildings, they may be damaged during the installation of other systems, due to poor maintenance or due to wear and tear over time.
Damage to the barriers may allow fire and smoke to pass between the various fire compartments in the building. Periodic surveys allow for early detection of failures, preventive maintenance, and the safety of occupants, property, and the building.
Early detection of failures
Detecting defects before they become a widespread risk in the structure
Preventive maintenance
Planning an orderly treatment of defects and damaged points
Documentation for decision-making
A report that allows you to prioritize repairs and track performance
Maintaining compartmentalization function over time
Re-inspection after repairs and planning periodic surveys
The survey and monitoring process
1
Planning and preparation
Collect existing plans, maintenance history, and reports
2
Visual inspection
Scanning the compartmentalized areas and fire barriers throughout the building
3
Technical tests as needed
Detecting hidden failures and checking system materials and connections
4
Documentation and summary report
Collection of images, locations, severity of defects and recommendations
5
Monitoring and control
Re-inspection after repairs and planning for continued maintenance

Planning and preparing the survey
The survey begins by gathering information about the building, including construction plans, maintenance history, and previous reports of failures. Then, coordination is made with the building managers and tenants to set a suitable date and conduct a comprehensive inspection.
Documentation, correction and control
All findings are documented in detail, including photos and notes. At the end of the survey, a summary report is produced with recommendations for correction and improvement. After the corrections are made, a re-inspection can be performed to ensure that the failures have been properly addressed.
The stages of the survey in the structure
בדיקה ויזואלית מקיפה
סריקה של קירות, תקרות, רצפות, חדירות ותפרים לאיתור נזק, פתחים לא אטומים ותיקונים לא תקינים.
בדיקות טכניות לפי הצורך
שימוש באמצעי בדיקה ומדידה לאיתור כשלים שאינם גלויים לעין ולבחינת רציפות ההפרדות.
בדיקת חדירות מערכות
בדיקת רציפות האיטום סביב צנרת, כבלים, סולמות ומגשי שירות העוברים דרך קירות ותקרות הפרדה.
בדיקת התאמה ותקינות
זיהוי חומרים, תיקונים ופתרונות שאינם תואמים לדרישות, ובדיקת שמירת דירוג העמידות באש.
תיעוד ודיווח
צילום הממצאים, רישום מיקום הליקויים והכנת דוח מסודר עם המלצות לתיקון ולמעקב.
