Existing apartment buildings
Start from the FRA and available asset records, then confirm repairs, replacement needs and resident access.
Existing & new-build residential
Passive fire protection for residential buildings.
FireX supports existing residential buildings and new-build developments with passive fire work that can be traced from survey or design information through to completion. The approach is suited to apartment buildings, mixed-use developments, high-rise residential and buildings within the higher-risk regime.
Operational priorities
Planning beyond the technical detail.
Suitable passive fire work depends on the tested solution and on how the building can be accessed, controlled and handed back.
- Flat entrance, communal and riser doors
- Compartmentation around building services
- Golden-thread-ready records
- Handover information for building and asset teams
Building types
Support suited to the environment.
New-build residential developments
Coordinate service penetrations, door installations and inspection points before finishes conceal the work.
Mixed-use schemes
Review interfaces between commercial and residential spaces against the agreed fire strategy.
High-rise and higher-risk buildings
Confirm the applicable building-safety process with the dutyholders before intrusive or replacement works begin.
Delivery approach
Controlled from planning to close-out.
Confirm the evidence
Review the required fire performance, tested systems, supporting construction and available building information.
Coordinate the interfaces
Plan door, penetration, barrier and damper work around construction sequencing or occupied-building access.
Build the record
Link installation checks, photographs, product data and outstanding exceptions to the correct location.
