Protect people, buildings, and business processes by keeping fire and smoke contained within a single compartment.
Compartmentation is one of the most important components of passive fire protection. By dividing a building into separate fire and smoke-resistant compartments, it prevents uncontrolled spread of fire and smoke to other parts of the building. This saves valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.
Fire-Tech Solutions supports clients in designing, inspecting, repairing, and improving compartmenting systems. We assess existing situations, identify risks, and advise on appropriate solutions to restore the full functionality of fire and smoke separation systems.
Well-executed compartmenting contributes to the protection of human lives, the limitation of damage, and the continuity of business processes.

Frequently asked questions
What is compartmenting?
Compartmentation is the division of a building into separate fire and smoke-resistant zones. The goal is to slow down the spread of fire and smoke and support protected escape routes.
Why is compartmenting important?
Compartmentation creates extra time for evacuation and emergency response and helps prevent fire and smoke from spreading uncontrollably through a building.
When should compartmenting be checked?
Inspection is relevant in new construction, renovation, functional changes, damage, and when cables, pipes, or other installations are installed using fire barriers.
Can existing brand separations be restored?
That depends on the existing situation. An inspection can provide insight into openings, damage, incorrect connections, and necessary repair measures.
Is a fireproof wall alone enough?
No. Doors, joints, connections and penetrations must also comply with the required fire and smoke-resistant separation requirements.
