Fire barrier design
Firebreak planning should be done well, because firebreaks increase safety and give more time for rescue and rescue.
A fire stop is defined as, among other things, all penetrations through the fire-retardant structures of a building and the sealing of seams.
The main function of a fire stop is to prevent the spread of fire, heat, smoke and toxic gases from one compartment to another. The compartmentalisation class of fire barriers shall correspond to the fire class of the structure.
Firestops are installed in both new and renovated buildings. The earliest possible fire compartmentation plan will help to select the method of compartmentation appropriate to the fire class of the structure.
A fire stopping plan is made for a site where there is a need for penetrations or sealing in compartmentalized structures. Sealing penetrations and holes in building services effectively reduces the spread of fire and flue gases.
A well-designed fire stop design will help to achieve fire stopping on site. Fire stopping should be planned as part of the fire engineering design, but at the latest before the building services are installed. If fire stopping is not taken into account when installing building services, the services may have to be dismantled and reinstalled, which will lead to additional costs.
The fire protection plan is a specific plan drawn up by the expert undertaking the building project, in parallel with other specific plans (structural, plumbing, electrical) and in cooperation with the designers in these fields. The fire barrier plan includes a text section, fire barrier location diagrams and fire barrier installation drawings.
The fire barrier design is often required as part of the conditions of the building permit.
The fire barrier design verifies the suitability of the fire barriers for the site.
