When our specialists are inspecting existing compartments, the first thing they look for are breaches that could facilitate the spread of flames and smoke. Breaches are most often found in service penetrations made by installing cables, pipes and other systems.
Defective firestopping solutions are another key area of focus. For example, holes may have been filled with materials that are either combustible or inappropriate such as pink foam. There is also the possibility that firestopping solutions have been made non-compliant through a new service penetration.
