Quality assurance and documentation
We quality assure all fire seals through thorough inspection and detailed photo documentation that shows both the work process, the materials used and the finished result.
At BS Brandsikring, we specialize in fire sealing installation shafts, which are an important part of your building’s fire protection system and passive fire protection. Proper shaft fire sealing ensures that fire, smoke and heat do not spread through the building via technical installations such as pipes, cables and ventilation ducts.
Utility shafts act as vertical corridors for technical installations, but they can also act as fire escape routes if they are not properly fire sealed. An incomplete or inadequate seal can lead to a fire spreading rapidly between floors and sections, which can cause serious damage to both people and property.
At BS Brandsikring, we ensure that all installation shafts in your building are professionally fire sealed in accordance with current legal requirements.
Fire sealing of installation shafts is a requirement in BR18, which sets rules for how building elements must prevent the spread of fire. A shaft that connects several fire separated parts of the building must itself be separated from the rest, and that can be done by building it as a fire compartment in its own right. Pipes, cables and ducts pass in and out through the shaft wall, and every opening has to be sealed so the wall keeps its fire resistance. Cavities along the way must be closed off, so a fire cannot travel on through them. The requirements are set out in BR18 sections 116, 114 and 115, and the fire strategy for the individual project may go further.
Our solutions comply with the DS/EN 1366-3 standard, which ensures that the fire protection is tested and approved for the right fire resistance times.
