Injectaclad Fire Barrier Solution

This contractor had to come up with a solution for their client which allowed 32 locations to have fire cavity barriers (FCBs) installed externally due to a change of use scenario with the introduction of sleeping patients.

By negating the need to remove the external façade of buildings, this installation system has significant cost reduction on existing premises where there is no existing fire barrier within the cavity or the original is found to be defective.

The product is pumped into the cavity to the desired depth and width void using a patented method to form a linear cavity fire barrier utilising the systems reinforcing mesh and holding pin supports.

This solution allowed for a small section of brickwork to be removed (3 bricks, top, middle and bottom) and for the cavity sock to be inserted, pinned into position and filled with a fire rated foam to the width of the cavity. The solution allows a client’s existing portfolio to be upgraded and conform to current fire regulations.

This also allows the works to be done without the need for extremely costly and intrusive works which would have an affect other building users, residents and patients dependant on the location of the works being carried out.
