With the continued growth of e-commerce and automation, making better use of industrial space is becoming increasingly important. Storage, fulfilment, offices, mezzanines and operational areas can all come together under one roof, alongside a growing amount of robotics, servers, control systems and charging equipment.
As that technology becomes a bigger part of modern industrial facilities, it’s worth thinking not just about how the space is used, but how it’s protected too. Server rooms, control panels and charging bays can bring different considerations for fire safety and separation, so it’s worth asking whether that’s reflected in your current fire strategy.
Fire-rated composite panels can form a key part of that compartmentation, alongside critical elements such as umbrella details and firestopping, which all play their part in maintaining the required fire separation.
That’s the kind of work featured in the image, capturing one of our current contracts where we are partnering with a longstanding client to fit over 4,000m² of fire-rated composite panels across eight units, forming divisional and compartment walls.
If you’ve got an internal firewall requirement coming up, we’d be happy to put that experience to work on your next project!
