Fundamentals of Firestopping for Service Penetrations
This session provides a clear, practical introduction to firestopping for service penetrations, focusing on the core principles that underpin effective passive fire protection.
It will explore the concept of fire compartmentation, how intumescent materials function, and the importance of test evidence and certification in demonstrating performance. Attendees will gain an understanding of key fire resistance criteria, including integrity and insulation, and how these apply in real-world scenarios.
The session will also highlight common installation challenges, supported by examples of both good and poor applications, and provide guidance on the key factors to consider when selecting appropriate firestopping solutions.
Designed for those involved in design, specification, and installation, this session aims to support improved understanding and more informed decision-making across project teams.
