Consulting Services: The firestopping business is changing rapidly with new requirements, new products and many factors that can delay or add cost to a project. We have the experience and expertise to develop a plan that can help to save you money during construction.
SFS can provide answers to these questions:
| What
materials are best for the job? |
|
| What
are the best tested systems for the job? |
|
| Who
should do the firestopping? |
|
| What
do you need to do to minimize liability? |
|
| How
much will this add to the cost of the job? |
|
| What
can you do to minimize your cost for firestopping? |
Our experience with field installation (many thousands of hours) allows us to solve many of the problems and conditions that
can arise during construction.
Our connections with numerous firestop manufacturers help us determine which
products or systems can best suit your needs.
We also do seminars and training sessions.
Maintenance: Over the course of time, facilities change or add services, move or add rated walls, etc during additions, renovation, remodels and upgrades. These changes may include, new data/communications systems, gas and liquid piping, HVAC upgrade, just to name a few. Many times these activities require bringing an older area of a facility up to a newer building code. The health care industry has additional requirements in order to maintain their accreditation and JCAHO has specific containment requirements.
SFS can help to establish an annual maintenance program to suit your building needs. The cost of this type of program is nominal in comparison to a complete retrofit of your facility. Doing this over a period of time can save your facility money.
