New compliant fire doors were required to compartmentalise the welfare and surrounding staircases and subcontractors’ offices, first aid room and assorted storerooms. As the floor had an uneven concrete finish we had to install drop-down seals to counteract the various levels.
This job was assessed as part of our FIRAS accreditation assessment for our qualified carpenters which we passed and certified. We were later awarded the installation of 80nr. assorted fire doors fitted on the main building as part of the ACOP insurance scheme which requires the main contractor (Skanska) to compartmentalise the staircases of the 22-storey building thus providing containment in the event of a fire.
