Passive Fire Protection
These services focus on limiting the spread of fire, heat, and smoke through the use of fire-resistant materials and systems, ensuring structural stability and providing adequate time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.
Key components of PFP services in the UAE include
Fire-Resistant Coatings and Materials
Application of fire-retardant paints, intumescent coatings, and fire-resistant boards to structural steel and other components to maintain their integrity during a fire.
Fire Stopping Systems
Installation of fire-rated sealants, barriers, and penetration seals around pipes, cables, and ducts to prevent fire and smoke from spreading through openings.
Compartmentation Solutions
Designing and constructing fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings to divide buildings into compartments, effectively containing fires to specific areas.
Fire Doors and Glazing
Installation and maintenance of certified fire-rated doors and glazing systems to block fire and smoke while allowing safe exits and visibility.
Ductwork Protection
Fire-resistant cladding for ventilation systems to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through air ducts.
Structural Fireproofing
Reinforcement of load-bearing structures such as columns and beams with fireproof materials to maintain their strength and prevent collapse.
Inspections and Maintenance
Regular inspection, testing, and maintenance of passive fire protection systems to ensure compliance with UAE Civil Defense regulations and international safety standards.
PFP services in the UAE are regulated by local Civil Defense authorities, with strict adherence to international standards such as NFPA, BS, and EN codes. These services are particularly critical in high-risk environments, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, oil and gas plants, and residential complexes.
