Fire Doors & Passive Fire Systems
Passive fire protection systems are built into the structure of a building to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. These systems help contain fire within a specific area and allow occupants more time to safely evacuate.
FSM Fire Safety Melbourne provides inspections and compliance checks for passive fire protection systems across Melbourne.
This includes checking fire-rated walls, fire doors, and penetration sealing around services such as electrical and plumbing penetrations.
If passive fire elements have been damaged or modified, they may no longer perform correctly during a fire. Regular inspections help identify issues early and ensure the building maintains its fire resistance rating.
What are examples of passive fire systems?
Examples include fire doors, fire-rated walls, penetration sealing, and fire-rated service penetrations.
How often should passive fire systems be inspected?
Passive fire elements should be inspected regularly to ensure they have not been damaged or altered.
Can you repair damaged fire penetrations or fire doors?
Yes. We can inspect and organise repairs to ensure passive fire systems remain compliant.
