FIRE DAMPER TESTING

Testing, cleaning and maintenance

The increasing concentration on buildings’ fire safety has given an immeasurable boost to compliance with British Standard BS 9999 (2008): ‘Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.’ Regular drop-testing of fire and smoke dampers to prove the effectiveness of these essential life safety devices has become the norm.

For many building managers records are non-existent, scattered or contradictory, leaving the responsible person at significant legal risk, never mind the risk of uncontrolled spread of fire and smoke.

Ductwork Clean personnel help FM’s, hospital engineers, estates officers, plant engineers, and others responsible for fire safety, to demonstrate compliance with BS 9999, BESA TB/001 Fire and Smoke Damper Maintenance and general maintenance specifications such SFG20 & HTM2025. Ductwork Clean will work with the information that you have got to carry out the work cost-effectively, non-disruptively and with a minimum of headache.

Who better to carry out drop-testing than our technicians who understand typical ductwork layouts; are used to repetitious work at height and spend their working lives finding and gaining access to ductwork? Couple that experience with the most modern digital report production apps with all the necessary checks and record-keeping functions, and you have a robust, low-cost compliance system in place.
