Passive Fire Protection

Fire Contained. Safety Secured.

The principle of "Precaution is better than Cure" underscores the importance of pro-active safety measures. This proposal highlights the numerous benefits of implementing Passive fire protection systems as a key component of fire safety protocols, demonstrating how it better than traditional methods such as fire extinguishers and sprinklers in various critical aspects.

Majority fire-break outs are initiated due to electrical short-circuits and overloads which can be restricted.

Advantages of Fire-Resistant Cable Coating / Fire Barriers / Sealing Systems

Areas of Application for our “Passive fire Protection System

A. Wall & floor openings: Openings in the separating walls or floors shall be fitted with 4 hour fire resistance barrier systems (Mortar barrier systems for load bearing applications or Mineral wool board barriers for light weight & easy retrofitting option). It will be suitable for cables passing through cable shafts, cables running through wall penetrations, below electrical panels.

B. Fire Passivation of electrical cables: The intumescent cable coating shall be applied at critical areas to the required thickness for a 4 hour fire rating. Horizontal cables to be intermittently coated at every 3-4 meters and vertical cables to be coated completely depending on the layout. Cable connections to all equipment with high electrical load to be covered

C. Electrical conduits / Ducts: These are to be sealed by in-situ application of fire grade sealants with 2 hour rating.

D. Transformer / Substations/ Conduits/ Cable Shafts/ Electrical panel area to be protected.
