Firestopping
Condition-led firestop supply and installation for mechanical, electrical and mixed-service openings through rated walls and floors.
Technical scope
Firestop penetrations, joints and interfaces as complete systems.
Firestopping reinstates the intended performance of fire-rated barriers after services, joints and interfaces create openings. Each opening must be understood as a configuration, not treated as a sealant quantity.
Vortexen can coordinate opening surveys, system schedules, technical submittals, installation, tagging, inspection support, rectification and close-out for the agreed project scope.
