Completion
The report will show any remedial work with recommendations which will be digitally stored. Global HSE Group will then be able to support you with any remedial work that needs to be carried out.
Do I require a Fire Compartmentation Survey?
Fire door surveys can be undertaken as an independent service or in conjunction with a compartmentation survey. A fire compartmentation survey provides a detailed assessment of a building’s fire-resistant barriers, including walls, floors, ceilings, and penetrations, to ensure they effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke. There are several types of compartmentation surveys:
- Observational
- Sectional – Visual
- Sectional – Intrusive (Type 4 FRA)
- Full – Visual
- Full – Intrusive (TYpe 4 FRA)
Observational
Non-intrusive visual inspection of compartment walls, soffits, voids, cavities on the means of escape, protected stair cores and high-risk areas. Global will identify all life cycle, maintenance, and latent defects with a technical written and photographed report.
Please note a quotation cannot be populated from this report.
Sectional – Visual
Access is required to typically 3 floors. Inspection to sections of the floor template (not the whole floor), across several levels (not all levels). This will allow us to make an informed decision on the condition of the compartmentation, using the balance of probability.
It will identify breaches in compartmentation walls/soffits, voids, cavities within the means of escape, protected stair cores and high-risk areas. Information is captured in specialist software for reporting. Floor layout drawings will be required free of charge.
Budget costs can be produced on a pro-rata basis from this report.
Sectional – Intrusive (Type 4 FRA)
As per Sectional – Visual but previously inaccessible areas will be inspected by drilling a small hole through the substrate to enable an inspection by use of a borescope. A larger core drill may then be employed for opening up soffits, voids and cavities as required. Holes will be temporarily filled/covered on completion.
Budget costs can be produced from this report but with further increased detail.
Full – Visual
Access required to all parts of the building where all breaches in compartmentation walls, voids, cavities in the means of escape, protected stair cores, high risk and sleeping areas are identified. Information is captured in specialist software for reporting. Floor layout drawings will be required.
A full remediation cost can be produced from the information detailed in this report with the exclusion of any inaccessible areas.
Full – Intrusive (TYpe 4 FRA)
As per Full – Visual but previously inaccessible areas will be inspected by use of borescope and/or opening up soffits, voids and cavities as required.
A full remediation cost can be produced from the information detailed in this report.
