Fire proofing and fire compartmentation contractor in Dubai
We keep fire and smoke inside the compartment where they start. Our teams install fire proofing, fire barriers and firestopping as one coordinated package, using tested systems installed to the approved details.
Compartments that hold.
A building's fire strategy divides it into compartments. Every wall, floor, shaft and cavity on a compartment line has to keep its fire rating, including every gap and penetration through it. We install and record each part of that line.
Fire proofing
Fire protection applied to structural elements and building services as specified in the fire strategy.
Compartment walls and floors
Sealing of joints, head-of-wall gaps and slab edges so compartment lines keep their rating.
Cavity and curtain-wall barriers
Barriers in ceiling voids, raised floors and at slab edges behind curtain walls.
Penetration sealing
Firestopping around pipes, ducts, cables and trays wherever they cross a compartment line.
Shafts and risers
Sealing of service shafts and risers, the routes fire and smoke use most often to spread.
How we get it right.
Start from the fire strategy
The fire strategy and the consultant's drawings set which walls and floors are compartment lines and what rating each needs. We mark these up before quoting, so nothing on a compartment line is missed.
One tested system per detail
Each joint or penetration type gets a tested system that matches its substrate, size and rating. Mixing products from different systems voids the test evidence, so we keep to one system per detail.
Coordinate with the other trades
Compartment lines are crossed by MEP services, ceilings and partitions installed by others. We agree the sequence with them so sealing happens after services are in and before ceilings close.
Record everything
Every sealed penetration and joint is recorded with its location, system and inspection status. These records are what the authority and the client need at handover.
A clear path from enquiry to handover.
