Fire Compartments
Loss can be minimized by adopting different elements of fire protection
Focus area in Buildings/ industries for firestop
Floor /Wall openings for Utilities
Electrical Substation / Control Panel room
HT/LT Below Panel opening
Cable Coating
Cable transit systems
Electrical -penetrations
Mechanical -penetrations
Structural -penetrations
openings for future use
Re-entries of existing firestops
Control or sway joints within a fire-resistance rated wall or floor assemblies
Junctions between the fire-resistance rated wall or floor assemblies
Passive fire safety system is essential in achieving containment Just containing fire without proper measures to suppress or extinguish it, is pointless!
