Existing Fire Protection Measures
This assessment involves the inspection of fire protection systems and materials installed within a structure. These may include fire-resistant coatings, cladding systems, fire barriers, or protective materials applied to structural elements.

The Process

Structural elements and fire protection systems are visually inspected and measured where necessary. The type, condition, and extent of fire protection materials are documented and compared with relevant fire performance requirements.

The Reason

Fire protection systems are critical for maintaining structural stability during fire events. Regular assessment helps confirm that existing protection remains effective and compliant with design expectations.

The Application

These assessments are commonly carried out during building inspections, refurbishment works, or fire safety reviews.
