Fire Compartmentation

Fire compartmentation protection helps to prevent the spread of fire through fire-resistant walls and floors.  By compartmentalising a blaze using fire-rated partitions, barriers, doors and other techniques, the fire is sectioned into more manageable areas. Compartmentation surveys and inspections ensure that these fire barriers are properly maintained and effective. By utilising this method of compartmentation in the event of a fire, this also provides time and clearer routes for means of escape; particularly if an escape route is separated from the rest of the premises.
