Passive fire protection-Newport

Scope of works

At Fireholt Fire Protection Ltd, we successfully completed a comprehensive passive fire protection project at the Porsche showroom located at Lakeside Drive, Coedkernew Newport, NP10 8BB. Our team worked alongside the main contractor to supply and install 60-minute passive fire protection and 60-minute intumescent fire protection using Jotun Steelmaster, making sure the highest standards of fire safety were achieved.

Expert Passive Fire Protection Techniques

Our work primarily focused on fire-resistant solutions tailored to service penetrations throughout the showroom. We utilised proven products such as Firebatt, mastic, compound and firewraps to provide reliable fire protection. These methods, combined with high-quality materials like Rockwool products, guaranteed a robust barrier against the spread of fire, offering the occupants critical time in the event of an emergency.

SteelMaster are thin-film intumescent coatings provide structural steel with protection against cellulosic fires. Formulated to deliver a thermal insulation and cooling effect with a duration of up to 180 minutes, SteelMaster coatings simultaneously enhance the beauty of steel design throughout the 1800sqm showroom.

Firefly is a world-leading manufacturer of passive fire protection products, most notably lightweight smoke and flame barriers, which integrates woven materials designed to protect buildings from fire.

Full Compliance & Traceability

All tasks undertaken during this project were meticulously recorded for complete traceability. Using Firearrest software, we documented every stage of the work, making sure that all installations met the required safety standards.

What Is IFC Certification?

As part of our commitment to quality and compliance, all the fire protection work completed at the Porsche showroom was fully IFC certified. The International Fire Consultants (IFC) certification is a globally recognised standard that demonstrates the work has been independently assessed and meets rigorous fire safety requirements. This certification provides assurance to clients, contractors, and building owners that the passive fire protection systems installed are reliable, effective, and compliant with current regulations. For this showroom in Newport, the IFC certification process underpinned our dedication to delivering safe and high-quality fire protection solutions.

Completed On Time, To A High Standard

We successfully completed the project in September 2023, delivering a fully functional and compliant fire protection system. The collaboration with the main contractor allowed us to integrate seamlessly into the project timeline, making sure the work was completed efficiently and professionally.
