Fire-rated Partitions and Ceiling Systems Inspection
Fire-rated Partitions and Ceiling Systems Inspection
Fire-rated partitions and ceiling systems are the structural components that will form the separating element between rooms and form the compartmentation to limit the spread of smoke and flame between compartments.
Why are fire-rated partitions and ceiling systems important?
Fire-rated partitions and ceiling systems are integral in the suppression of smoke and flame spread throughout a building, maintaining effective compartmentation.
What is covered in our fire-rated partitions and ceiling systems inspections?
During a fire-rated partitions and ceiling systems inspection our technicians inspect the systems including:
The fire rating of the supporting/associated construction including the integrity and insulation rating
Height, thickness/depth
The method and type of fixings
Sealing of perimeter gaps
Suspension system
Low melting point components
Whether the partition is secured to a suspended ceiling or raised access floor
Identification of steel or proprietary framework including dimensions
Type of facing panels or wallboards
Method of attaching boards to the framework
Method of sealing the joints
Insulation material within the core
Presence of skirting
Presence of small-scale penetrations e.g. pipes and the method of sealing
Presence of large-scale penetrations e.g. doors and the method of installation
