Solutions for openings, penetrations and seams
Adaptation to wall, ceiling and penetrating system
Installation planning, approval and control
Why are fire barriers required?
Openings and penetrations in fire walls and ceilings can compromise the continuity of the compartmentation and allow the passage of fire, smoke and gases. A suitable fire barrier restores the system to the sealing and durability required in the design.
The solution must be appropriate for the type of infrastructure, the penetrating system, the dimensions of the opening and the expected movements in structural joints.
Restoring the durability of the wall or ceiling
Sealing openings and penetrations to maintain the function of the compartmentalized envelope
Preventing the passage of fire and smoke
Reducing passage through cables, pipes, ducts and seams
Adaptable to any type of penetration
Choosing a solution based on the penetrating system, the opening, and the infrastructure materials
Possibility of documentation and control
Defining a clear detail that can be installed, marked, and inspected
The process of planning and implementing fire barriers
1
Mapping the penetrations and seams
Concentration of the types of openings, systems and locations in the structure
2
Classification of each item
Checking the infrastructure, the type of penetrating system and the dimensions
3
Choosing an approved solution
Adapting a fire barrier system to each family of individuals
4
Preparation of specifications and marking
Defining the materials, installation and method of identification on site
5
Execution and quality control
Checking filling, depths, sealing and continuity
6
Documentation and testing
Gathering findings, photos and documents for approval
Adjusting the barrier to each penetration and seam
The solution is selected based on the type of wall or ceiling, the type of penetrating system, the piping and cable materials, the size of the opening, the movement of the seam, and the required fire resistance time.
Installation documentation and control
A match between the approved barrier detail and the actual situation is required. The control includes checking the system materials, fill depths, sealing continuity, marking the barriers, and documentation for inspection and approval.
