What is fire protection? Fire protection is the utmost priority in designing any type of building. Fire safety in buildings is determined by a number of factors: The provisions of means of escape of occupants The ability of a building to resist the effects of fire and to minimize the spread of fire and smoke The provision of means of access to enable firefighters to carryout rescue operations Gyproc with subject expertise contributes in providing solutions for Passive Fire protection in the form of fire rated walls and ceiling systems, beam and column encasements etc. across all segments adhering to local code and standards. Fire protection within a building can be categorised into two different types: Active fire protection: “Involves actively detecting smoke or fire and suppressing it on occurrence”. Passive fire protection: “It contains fires or slows down the spread of a fire via the use of fire resistance rated walls, floors, doors etc. for fire fighting activities to save lives and property”. Achieving Fire Protection with PFP? Methods of Passive Fire Protection: Structural Steel Protection: Fire Foams, Cladding The degree of protection required is determined by calculating the mass and surface area which helps establish the steel’s Heated Perimeter / Area factor or “Hp/A or Section factor”. The higher the Hp/A, the more the protection required to achieve the same fire rating; be it 30, 60, 90 or 180 minutes. Compartmentalization Inhibit a fire from rapidly spreading within the building by reducing the fuel available in the initial stages of a fire. This is achieved by dividing the building into a series of fire tight boxes termed compartments which form a barrier to the products of combustion; smoke, heat and toxic gases. Penetration Management Sealing of gaps in Ducting and Joints with fire resistive sealants, fire dampers, intumescent paints etc.
