Fire damper inspection and testing rely on having access to good records indicating where fire dampers are located. Ideally, there will be building plans and schematic drawings detailing their precise position.
Often asset registers become out of date following building works or renovations. Where up-to-date information is not available, we can undertake a survey to create an asset register detailing damper locations and quantities. The register provides important information for subsequent testing and maintenance to achieve fire safety compliance. The foundation stone of safety and compliance is a fire damper risk assessment.
As part of our survey, we can assess what equipment may be needed to access the fire dampers, and then calculate how long it will take for one of our technicians to test them. There may also be instances where we recommend fitting an access panel within the duct system to be able to reach the fire damper to test it.
