Fire Compartmentation Surveys

We fully understand the absolute necessity and importance of maintaining the integrity of a fire compartment within a building. The concept can be described easily as a ‘cube’ and all sides of the cube, including the top and the bottom, must be sealed to withhold smoke and fire for a specific period of time, depending on the use of the compartment.

A compartment could be a cupboard, corridor, room or series of rooms but all will relate to each other and offer the protection designed within the Fire Strategy for the building. Hughes and Associates have the professional skills to design or review the fire strategy and conduct a complete compartment survey to ensure any breaches are highlighted and recorded.

We can then record the full survey and itemised breaches on our Eyecomply software that will show a floor plan of the area with each breach given a location pin indicating the exact position in the room the breach is. A before photograph of the breach is taken for identification and audit purposes. Full specifications and tender documents can be formed from the outgoing reports within Eyecomply to complete the works.
