The Building Code of Australia (BCA) divides buildings into types which have individual requirements. The BCA passive fire protection requires that all buildings (except non-high-rise housing) are to be designed in such a way as to have Fire Compartments which will:
- Stop the spread of fire
- Allow occupants to escape to an unaffected area
- Allow fire-fighters to attack the source of the blaze.
All Fire Rate passive fire protection installations are designed to stop the spreading of fire from one compartment to the next. A compartment can be a room, a series of rooms, a vertical shaft, an entire floor, or any other area specified in the (BCA).Fire Exit paths are an essential lifeline to safety. These paths must protect the occupants and building for a minimum of 2 hours.
Fire Rate specialises in these areas of essential services(passive fire protection). Our installations are guaranteed with a certificate of compliance. The certificate will inform the following:
- Structural Adequacy
- Integrity
- Insulation of the tested fire system installed.
Fire Rate technicians are trained & qualified in Occupational Health & Safety (OHS).
