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.

205 residential units over multiple floors
High volumes of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC penetrations
Different wall and floor constructions throughout the development
Tight programme deadlines linked to phased completion
