Fire penetration sealing
Fire stopping around pipes, cables, cable trays and other building services passing through fire-resisting walls and floors.
Surevia provides practical passive firestopping services to help maintain the fire resistance of walls, floors and compartment lines. From service penetration sealing to remedial fire stopping, we help make the details count.
Thoughtful workmanship. Suitable tested systems. Clear communication from first enquiry to completed works.
A building’s fire protection is only as effective as the integrity of its compartmentation.
Openings for pipes, cables, ducts and other building services can create routes for fire and smoke to spread. Correctly specified and installed firestopping helps reinstate the fire resistance of the building element around those openings.
Surevia is a new specialist service provider focused on passive fire protection and fire stopping. We work with clients to understand the building, the service penetrations and the required outcome before agreeing a suitable scope of work.
Tell us about your project ↗Practical passive fire protection for new installations, building projects and existing properties. Final scope is agreed following review of the site conditions and project requirements.
Fire stopping around pipes, cables, cable trays and other building services passing through fire-resisting walls and floors.
Firestopping works to help maintain compartment lines and reduce the potential for fire and smoke to travel through concealed openings.
Sealing linear gaps and joints at suitable wall, floor and construction interfaces using systems appropriate to the application.
Installation of suitable pipe collars and wrap systems where required to protect service penetrations through compartment elements.
Rectification of identified firestopping defects, incomplete seals and unsealed service openings, subject to assessment and agreed scope.
Coordination with contractors and project teams to plan and deliver fire stopping works around site sequencing and access requirements.
Firestopping is not simply filling a gap. The construction, services, opening size and required fire performance all matter.
We discuss the building element, service type, site conditions and project information to understand what needs to be protected.
The proposed system should be suitable for the specific application and supported by relevant product and system evidence.
We plan the installation with the project team and agree what completion information and records are required for handover.
We’ll be adding project photographs here. Check back soon to see examples of fire penetration sealing, compartmentation and firestopping installations.
Some quick answers to common questions about passive fire protection and fire stopping work.
Passive fire protection uses building elements and systems designed to resist or restrict the spread of fire and smoke. Fire-resisting walls and floors, compartmentation and correctly installed firestopping are common examples.
Firestopping is the sealing of gaps, joints and service penetrations in fire-resisting construction using suitable systems. It helps maintain the intended fire performance of the wall or floor.
It may be needed where pipes, cables, cable trays and other services pass through fire-resisting walls or floors, and at certain construction joints and interfaces. The correct detail depends on the building design and site conditions.
Surevia can discuss identified firestopping defects and remedial requirements. The work and proposed system need to be reviewed against the construction, service type and relevant supporting evidence before a scope is agreed.
If available, share the site location, drawings, photographs, survey findings, service types, approximate quantities and any project specification. This helps us understand the requirement and advise on the next step.
Tell us about your site, project or remedial works. We’ll be happy to discuss the next steps.
