🌧️ Just wrapped up a roof inspection in the North, where the client was facing water ingress issues. A core sample revealed the culprit: no vapour barrier was installed, leading to interstitial condensation. Despite the torch-on membrane being well-installed, this critical oversight means the entire roof will need to be stripped. This is a prime example of why thorough inspections and core samples are crucial in diagnosing hidden issues. If you're dealing with roofing issues and want a completely independent survey and solution, get in touch with us today. We're here to provide expert, unbiased advice to protect your building's integrity. #RoofingInspection #CoreSamples #RoofingSolutions #BuildingSurveying

🔥 During a fire, smoke can spread rapidly through a building, causing visibility issues respiratory problems, and potentially leading to fatalities. Controlling the spread of smoke is as crucial as controlling the fire itself. Smoke-tested riser doors are made to keep fire compartments secure and stop smoke from moving through utility shafts. If not properly sealed, these shafts can act like chimneys, letting smoke spread to different floors and areas of a building. ➡️https://bit.ly/3FxnyHl #SmokeControl #FireSafety #Riserdoors #Construction

🔍 Survey Insight from Kenny 🔍 During a recent inspection, Kenny identified wood-boring insects in the roof void and a bowing ceiling, likely due to an unsupported hot water cylinder. #Surveying #PropertyInspection #StructuralIntegrity #BuildingSafety #SurveyorInsights

IBC Chapter 10 🔵 Means Of Egress 1. Exit Access 2. Exit 3. Exit Discharge 1️⃣ Exit Access:That portion of a means of egress system that leads from any occupied portion of a building to an exit. Exit access may include aisle access ways, aisles, exit access doorways and corridors. 2️⃣ Exit:That portion of a means of egress system between the exit access and the exit discharge. Exit components include exterior exit doors at the level of exit discharge, interior exit stairways and ramps, exit passageways and exterior exit stairways and ramps. 3️⃣ Exit Discharges: That portion of a means of egress system between the termination of the exit and a public way. #IBC_Code #FireProtection #Firelifesafetycode

Kimmo Kaukanen's first blog article is out 🔥 🧱 EN 13501-1 is the European classification standard for assessing fire safety of construction materials. Based on a series of tests and their results, the standard classifies materials into seven categories: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, and F. In addition to flammability classifications, the standard also offers guidelines for assessing the material's tendency to produce smoke and flaming particles 👉🏻 The blog article covers the tests and results required for each classification for floorings, linear pipe thermal insulation products, and other building materials: https://lnkd.in/gCP_pHVi #EN13501 #fireclassification #constructionmaterials #firesafety

Interfacing Cavity Barrier Stops: Ensuring Safety and Compliance In multi-occupancy buildings, preventing fire and smoke spread is critical. While maintaining a clear cavity is standard in wall construction, certain scenarios require cavity closure to meet safety regulations. Our passive rectangular stops provide permanent closure, while intumescent stops activate with heat, ensuring optimal safety and compliance.
