Passive Fire Protection

Passive protection works covering fire doors, service penetration sealing, protective coatings and fire resisting partitions and compartmentation details.

Specialist service

Treating assemblies and interfaces as a coordinated scope supports continuity of protection and provides clearer records for inspection and future building alterations.

The requirement

Planned around your property.

Passive protection relies on the continuity of fire resisting construction, including the details around doors, joints and service penetrations. EXA TECK’s scope covers specified fire doors, firestopping, protective coatings and fire rated partitions. We coordinate system selection and installation details with the approved compartmentation strategy. Product compatibility, substrate conditions and records of treated locations receive attention because small interfaces can affect the performance of the wider assembly.

The service in detail

Maintaining the building's fire separation

Protection built into the fabric

Passive fire protection aims to limit fire and smoke spread through the building’s construction. Fire rated doors, partitions, penetration seals and protective coatings each contribute to the intended separation. Their effectiveness depends on the complete specified assembly and its installation details, rather than an individual product label alone.

Continuity at joints and openings

The work begins by reviewing the relevant drawings, fire rating requirements, substrates and service penetrations. A seal around a cable or pipe needs a solution suitable for that opening and its surrounding construction. Door assemblies require coordinated frames, leaves, hardware and surrounding details, while coatings depend on the specified substrate and application. New service installations can disturb existing protection, so interfaces and later access need to be considered before areas are closed.

Inspecting and documenting concealed details

Installation checks should occur while important details remain visible. Records of treated locations, specified products and relevant inspections help the building team understand the completed scope and assess future alterations. Any unresolved gaps or incomplete areas should be identified clearly. Share the building drawings, required ratings, opening details and photographs with EXA TECK so the passive protection package can be reviewed against the actual construction.
