For firestopping we start differently for new buildings and existing buildings…but end the same, on time and with your passive fire protection properly and securely in place.
For new construction projects we: -Obtain Life Safety plans, full MEP sets and Structural plans. We have to know every place a rated floor/wall assembly is going to be penetrated and where all joints are going to be located -Coordinate with all other trades at pre-construction meetings planning and coordinationFor existing buildings we: -Obtain whatever building plans are available. -Conduct a Barrier Assessment Survey (BAS) where we survey every linear foot of all Fire and Smoke Barriers and digitally document them to develop a detailed analysis of all joints, through penetrations and membrane penetrations as well as needs for Barrier remediation. -Coordinate with key building operations staff to plan the best way to minimize disruptions. From there the work is the same. Our DRI creates a full submittal set using only UL Listed Firestop Systems and manufacturer’s Engineering Judgments – NO “field designed” systems! Our expertly trained tradesmen install each application with a zero tolerance mindset. We fully documented all installations for inspection purposes and future maintenance needs.
