A 240 Bed Student Accommodation in the heart of Edinburgh. After a fire compartment survey conducted by Evolutions identified Electrical sockets were missing intumescent gaskets.
Evolutions were instructed to upgrade all of the electrical sockets throughout the building to contain intumescent gaskets while onsite undertaking a destructive survey of a number of rooms. Some locations also required firestopping due to surface mounted trunking not being suitable for intumescent socket gaskets.
Socket Gaskets, Intumescent Liners are simple, affordable products to provide the required fire resistance capable of maintaining the fire resistance of compartments.
How we Completed
Working closely with the managing body CRM Students Evolutions devised a phased, floor by floor approach to each block. Ensuring all risers where completed before moving onto the next floor. By doing it in this method Evolutions removed wasted trips and consolidated noise and disturbance to a select time window.
The Goal
To rectify all corridors, risers with defective compartmentation. In doing so would allow the building to operate as per its fire strategy and provide the nessecary time to escape & for fire services to operate.
Final Results
The entire site was completed in a period of 6 weeks, the works commenced at the start of the 6 week school holiday. Thus allowing minimal disruption to the university students who remained and not impacting on the buildings operation.
