Passive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection focuses on preventing or minimizing the spread of fire through strategic compartmentalization and installation of fire-proof systems such as fire-resistant walls.
Penetration Seals
Penetration seals are passive fire protection systems used to maintain the integrity and fire resistance of a wall or floor that has pipes, cables or other services passing through it. In the event of a fire these penetrations risk the spread of fire if not correctly addressed with appropriate materials installed.
Intumescent Paint
Intumescent Paints which offer up-to 30, 60, 90 & 120 minutes fire protection on steel. The paint is applied with the required loadings which depends on steel size and the rating we are looking to achieve.
Fire Curtain Barrier
Curtain barriers, like cavity barriers, work through fire compartmentation. They limit the movement of fire and smoke, slowing the speed in which fire spreads. Unlike cavity barriers, curtain barriers can create a sealed compartment where one does not exist in a building’s structure. Effectively, they become walls during a fire.
Steel Encasements
Our steel encasement systems provide fire protection to structural steel columns, beams and joists. Passive fire protection is a vital component of any fire safety strategy. It safeguards people’s lives and limits the financial impact of damage to buildings and their contents.
Fire Stopping Surveys
Burke Passive Fire Protection Limited will visually inspect all compartment walls and floors including within services risers, both above ceilings and beneath raised floors (where existing) and along corridors in the areas of the building identified on the fire drawings and report on their current condition. We will prepare a report which will include representative photographs, advising on typical instances of non-compliance.
