Compartmentation Survey
A compartmentation survey is a key component to a fire strategy as it details the division of a building into compartments for effective fire risk management. The aim of a compartmentation survey is to identify any areas where fire could spread quickly, and to recommend ways to prevent or contain a fire.
Breaches in the compartmentation can create a significant risk to life for residents, so it’s critical that any deficiencies are identified and rectified as soon as possible. At Appraise Fire Engineering (AFE Consultants), we take pride in conducting thorough and comprehensive compartmentation surveys that prioritise the safety and well-being of all residents.
What is a Fire Compartmentation Survey?
A fire compartmentation survey is a detailed inspection of a building’s fire safety measures to ensure that the building is properly compartmentalised. It involves examining the walls, floors and ceilings to ensure they are properly designed and constructed to prevent the spread of fire.
An accredited fire engineer will evaluate the fire resistance of compartment walls and doors, inspect service penetrations and check for any signs of damage or deterioration. This is done to ensure that in the event of a fire, smoke and flames are contained as much as possible, allowing for a safer evacuation and minimising damage to the building.
A compartmentation survey is particularly important in buildings with multiple floors or rooms, as it can help prevent the rapid spread of flames from one area to another. It also ensures your building meets fire safety standards and keeps residents safe.
