This survey was vital in evaluating the fire safety performance of the building’s external wall systems and ensuring compliance with fire safety standards for high-rise residential properties.
Scope of Work:
Our inspection at 10 Park Drive included:
External Wall Intrusive Survey:
Examined the structure and condition of the external wall system, including cladding, insulation, cavity barriers, and fire-stopping measures.
Opened sections of the façade to analyse the materials and verify compliance with fire safety regulations.
Reviewed key elements, including breather membranes, cavity barriers, and outer wall finishes.
Fire Safety Compliance Assessment:
Assessed the installation and functionality of fire-resisting materials and systems intended to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
Confirmed adherence to current building codes and regulatory requirements.
Compiled a comprehensive report to support the Fire Engineer’s assessment and guide any necessary remedial actions.
Objectives:
The goals of this project were to:
Evaluate the construction and compliance of the external wall systems.
Identify potential risks or deficiencies that could impact fire safety.
Deliver detailed findings to support corrective actions and regulatory compliance.
Key Findings:
Our inspection provided essential information about the external wall construction, highlighting areas that required improvement to enhance the building’s fire safety. This reinforced the importance of thorough surveys and proactive fire protection measures.
