Fire Science Review & Testing
A passive resistance measure that prevents fire from traveling through a structure once it has started, fire science is mandated by building code and plays an important role in overall building safety. Braun Intertec develops training, inspection, and reporting procedures to meet the growing demand for third-party firestop inspections during the construction of high rise, schools, hospitals, and similar high-risk facilities.
Firestopping prevents fire and toxic gas from traveling through a structure once a blaze has ignited. Designed into the structure of the building, a comprehensive firestopping strategy includes membrane and through penetration firestop systems, fire resistant joint systems, and perimeter fire barrier systems. These measures are critical in maintaining the integrity of your fire-resistance-rated construction including fire walls, fire barriers, fire partitions, smoke barriers, and horizontal fire barrier assemblies.
