What is Compartmentation?

Compartmentation refers to the practice of dividing a building into sections, or compartments, to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and other hazards. This approach not only enhances the safety of a structure but also supports effective evacuation processes and minimizes potential damage during an incident. Compliance with building codes often necessitates compartmentation, particularly in larger commercial and residential structures.

 

LT Passive Fire Compartmentation Surveys

LT Passive Fire Compartmentation Survey is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of these passive fire protection measures in a building. The primary purposes of conducting such a survey include:

Compliance with Regulations: Ensuring that the building complies with national and local fire safety regulations is paramount. The survey checks for adherence to standards set by regulatory bodies.

Identifying Vulnerabilities: The assessment helps in identifying potential weaknesses in passive fire protection systems, such as gaps or breaches in fire barriers, that could compromise overall safety.

Risk Management: By understanding the compartmentation status, building owners can manage risk better, making necessary modifications to enhance fire protection systems.

Enhancing Safety Protocols: The findings from the survey assist in identifying and improving all measures needed to protect your structure, ultimately contributing to a safer environment.
