Passive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection is often neglected or taken for granted; however it is an integral part of a building's life safety systems. Coupling effective passive fire protection barriers/systems with active alarm/detection and suppression systems results in a building where a fire will be confined to the room of origin with minimal collateral heat and smoke damage in the remainder of the building. Whether it is the design of effective fire resistant compartmentation, the protection of structural steel, or the installation or retrofit of through-penetration firestopping systems, the life safety professionals at C&S have the necessary training and experience to implement a passive fire protection system solution to meet your facilities' needs. C&S is one of few firms that requires all through-penetration firestopping on our projects to be conducted by contractors that meet stringent qualifications, including FM 4991 approval, UL qualified, or significant training, certification, and experience in the application of through penetration firestopping systems.
