Passive Fire Audits

To this end, it is essential that these systems will work if a fire occurs within any building fire cell. Experience informs us that PFP fails due to poor construction and substandard fire stopping methods. The main passive issues that the CoveKinloch fire engineering team witness on a regular basis during site visits, is that penetrations through fire separations for the passage of cables or pipework has either not been fire-stopped with a proprietary fire resistant product or the fire-stopping has been completed poorly. These issues get overlooked due to a lack of knowledge and experience of these systems from all parties involved in the construction and inspection process, including Building Control Authorities (BCA).

So how can the team at CoveKinloch assist you in protecting your people and your building asset? We can complete both non-invasive and invasive inspections on your behalf to identify and catalogue any issues that are present. After this initial stage, if required, we can then manage the installation/rectification process for you and ensure that all Quality Assurance (QA) processes are in place to ensure not just a compliant but a ‘fit for purpose’ solution is in place.
