Project Overview
Scope Fire Protection delivered a full fire stopping and compartmentation package for a 205-unit residential development in the Midlands. The project involved sealing all service penetrations and maintaining fire-rated compartment lines to ensure compliance with Approved Document B and UK fire safety regulations ahead of final handover.
The Challenge
The scale of the project required a consistent and coordinated approach across every element of the build. Any gaps in compartmentation risked failed inspections and delays to project completion.
