Code-compliance reports for structural steel fire protection, and independent inspection of firestopping and fire-resistive coatings.

Close-up inspection of a firestop penetration seal

Structural steel must keep its strength long enough in a fire. We assess the required fire resistance under SBC 801, review the selected intumescent or cementitious systems, and independently inspect firestopping and compartmentation on site — each report issued under an official Fire Consult document reference.

When you need it

  • Steel-framed industrial, commercial or infrastructure buildings
  • Approval of a coating system and its thicknesses
  • Independent inspection of firestops and penetration seals
  • Independent inspection of fire compartmentation before handover

What we deliver

  1. 01Structural fire protection code-compliance report (SBC 801)
  2. 02Review of intumescent and cementitious coating systems for the required ratings
  3. 03Independent firestop and penetration seal inspection
  4. 04Fire compartmentation review and inspection, with a compliance report for handover
  5. 05Firestop application training for contractors
