Passive Fire Protection

At BFS, we specialize in providing comprehensive passive fire protection services. Our mission is to enhance the safety of your premises by implementing effective fire-resistant solutions. With our expertise and commitment to quality, you can trust us to safeguard your property and occupants against the devastating effects of fire.

Passive fire protection refers to a range of measures and systems designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building. Unlike active fire protection, which relies on active fire suppression systems like fire alarms and sprinklers, passive fire protection focuses on containing and isolating fire to minimize its impact. It involves the use of fire-resistant materials, structures, and compartmentalization techniques to create barriers that restrict fire and smoke from spreading.

• Fire-Rated Structures and Partitions

We specialize in the installation and maintenance of fire-rated structures and partitions. Our expert team ensures that walls, floors, doors, and other building components are built or upgraded to meet the required fire-resistance ratings. By implementing properly constructed fire barriers, we help prevent the rapid spread of fire, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely and minimizing property damage.

• Firestopping and Penetration Seals

Effective firestopping is crucial for maintaining the integrity of fire-rated barriers. We provide professional firestopping services, sealing penetrations such as pipes, cables, and ducts to prevent the passage of flames and smoke. Our certified technicians utilize tested and approved firestop systems to ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations.

• Fire Dampers and Smoke Control Systems

Properly functioning fire dampers and smoke control systems play a critical role in passive fire protection. We offer inspection, testing, and maintenance services for fire dampers and smoke control systems, ensuring that they operate optimally when needed. Our comprehensive approach helps maintain the integrity of ventilation systems and prevents the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork and openings.

• Fireproofing and Intumescent Coatings

To enhance the fire resistance of structural elements, we provide fireproofing and intumescent coating services. Our skilled professionals apply specialized coatings that expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming an insulating layer that protects the underlying surfaces. This additional layer of fire protection helps delay the effects of fire, providing valuable time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.
