NO ENTRY FOR FIRE

摘要

Compartmentation and the provision of protected corridors and stairways are fundamental concepts in the fire safety provisions embodied in regulations. These objectives are achieved by the incorporation of fire resisting barriers - walls and floors, within a building to provide areas of relative safety. Unfortunately, modern buildings are full of services, cables, pipes, ductwork and so on, which often need to pass through these fire resisting elements and so have the potential to compromise the protection that they are designed to provide. This can be mitigated by the method used to seal around these services.
