Passive Fireproofing Consulting

Property Protect can offer the following services relating to Fire Safety:

Passive Fireproofing is the use of specialised building materials in critical parts of the building to stop the spread of fire. These materials are distinct from ‘active’ fireproofing measures such as the use of fire fighting sprinklers.

Property Protect’s Passive Fireproofing service involves the inspection of buildings to identify whether they comply with Australian Standard 1851. The reports relatingto Passive Fireproofing are drafted in accordance with this standard and will highlight where your building does not comply. Possible problems may include:

• Fire walls may have voids in the wall or on inadequate material used for the required fire rating.
• Penetrations through the firewalls may not have adequate features to stop the spread of fire ie no dampers in the air conditioning ducts.

We can recommend designs for a passive fireproofing system to meet the building’s required fire rating.
