Remedials
All Risers
Client
Felda Investments
After a FRA it was revealed the communal risers, toilet risers on the fire compartments had no fire stopping within. Evolutions were able to completely overhaul the properties communal compartments and rectify all penetrations or defects.
Evolutions were instructed to undertake the required remedials to the communal risers of the property in both blocks. Thankfully Every Riser & plantroom throughout the entire building was inspected, rectified and restored to a fire resisting standard proven by tested and traceable materials.
Some of the significant defects were the following;
- Missing Closer devices to all Plastic Pipes
- Inadequate Fire Stopping to Communal Toilet Risers, Electrical Intakes
- Incomplete/Incorrect Head deflections
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 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.
