Passive Systems

ARA Fire takes pride in our expertise and dedication to maintaining passive fire systems, including Fire Doors, Fire Curtains, Exit and Emergency Lights, and Passive Penetrations. These vital components are essential for containing fires and ensuring the safe egress of building occupants during an emergency. 

ARA Fire takes pride in our expertise and dedication to maintaining passive fire systems, including:

Fire Doors: Fire doors are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection system. ARA Fire’s maintenance services ensure that fire doors are in optimal working condition. We inspect, repair, and replace door components as needed, including hinges, seals, and closers. Regular maintenance ensures that fire doors can effectively compartmentalise fires, preventing their spread and protecting escape routes.

Fire Curtains: Fire curtains are innovative solutions that deploy to create fire-resistant barriers in the event of a fire. ARA Fire’s maintenance regimen includes regular checks on the functionality of these curtains, ensuring they deploy as designed. This added layer of protection can significantly enhance fire safety in various building types.

Exit and Emergency Lights: Properly functioning exit and emergency lighting is essential for guiding occupants to safety during a fire or other emergencies. ARA Fire’s maintenance services include regular testing and replacement of fittings in these systems. We also ensure that emergency lighting complies with relevant regulations, ensuring a clear path to exits.

Passive Penetrations: Passive penetrations are openings in walls and ceilings which form fire compartments required for utility installations, such as pipes and cables. These openings need to be properly sealed to prevent the spread of fire. ARA Fire conducts comprehensive inspections to identify any breaches in passive penetrations and rectifies them by applying fire-resistant seals and materials. This meticulous maintenance work ensures the integrity of fire barriers within a building.

Fire Evacuation Diagrams: Effective evacuation diagrams are essential for guiding building occupants to safety during a fire. ARA Fire specialises in creating clear and informative evacuation diagrams tailored to your facility. We work closely with you to ensure that these diagrams are not just compliant with regulations but also easy to understand, even in the most stressful situations.

Fire Blankets: Fire blankets are indispensable tools for swiftly controlling small fires and providing protection during evacuations. ARA Fire offers maintenance and inspection services to ensure that your fire blankets are in excellent condition.

These vital components are essential for containing fires and ensuring the safe egress of building occupants during an emergency.
