Fire compartmentation
Providing efficient design of fire protection for steel-work penetrating compartment walls
Construction detailing
Complex FEA using SAFIR software
Steel beams that are protected with intumescent paint may sometimes breach fire compartmentation requirements – mainly because the paint fails to expand before heat has travelled via conduction to the unexposed side of the wall.
The software we use allows the heat transmitted by the section to be determined. This means not all steel penetrations will need additional fire protection.
