DAB Passive Fire Protection Specialists

DAB Passive Fire Protection are experts in all aspects of fire protection and fire stopping. Our team delivers the highest quality, fully compliant services for construction projects of all sizes, all over the country. STRUCTURAL Fire protection to structural steelwork plays an essential role in ensuring that buildings will not collapse prematurely in the event of a fire, providing time for the occupants to escape and for the fire service to obtain access. Traditionally, ‘fire protection’, comprising non-combustible boards and/or cementitious sprays is applied to insulate the frame. However, reactive coatings (intumescent paints) have also become much more popular. Our team will assess each project and use the correct process where necessary. FIRESTOPPING Firestops prevent unprotected horizontal and vertical penetrations in a fire-resistance-rated wall or floor assembly from creating a route by which fire and smoke can spread that would otherwise have been fire resisting construction, e.g. where a pipe passes through a firewall. Fire stopping is also to seal around gaps between fire resisting constructions, e.g. the linear gap between a wall and the floor above, in order for construction to form a complete barrier to fire and smoke spread. REMEDIAL Our team survey jobs and carry out all work which is needed. We assess incorrectly installed or damaged work and fit correctly to manufacturers details. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places legal responsibilities on the “responsible person” for non-domestic premises. We know the importance for organisations in both ensuring and demonstrating compliance, and in advising on the issues which arise in cases of non-compliance.
