Project Overview:
At One Park Drive, we conducted an external wall intrusive survey as part of a Fire Risk Assessment of External Wall (FRAEW) appointment. This survey was a critical step in assessing the fire safety performance of the building’s external wall systems, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations for high-rise residential buildings.
Scope of Work:
Our work at One Park Drive included:
External Wall Intrusive Survey:
Inspected the composition and condition of the external wall systems, including cladding, insulation, cavity barriers, and fire-stopping measures.
Conducted openings in the façade to assess the materials used and verify compliance with fire safety standards.
Reviewed key components such as breather membranes, cavity barriers, and outer wall finishes.
Fire Safety Compliance Assessment:
Checked for proper installation of fire-resisting materials and systems designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke.
Verified adherence to the relevant building regulations and industry standards.
Documented findings to support the Fire Engineer’s appraisal and any necessary remedial actions.
Objectives:
The main objectives of this project were to:
Determine the construction and fire safety compliance of the external wall systems.
Identify any deficiencies or risks that could compromise fire safety.
Provide a detailed report to guide remedial works and ensure regulatory compliance.
Key Findings:
Our survey uncovered critical insights into the external wall construction and identified areas requiring improvement to enhance fire performance. The findings highlighted the importance of rigorous inspections and proactive measures in maintaining building safety.
Outcome:
Our survey provided the building management team with critical insights into the external wall systems, enabling them to take informed steps to address fire safety concerns. This ensures enhanced resident safety and compliance with fire safety regulations.
