Fire Protection Works and Upgrades

The project encompassed a range of tasks, including fire seal and encasement works, along with replacing dampers in the existing risers.

Additionally, fire seal installations were conducted on compartment walls across all 6 floors, and Fire Doors were upgraded. BHA also addressed existing fire alarm issues and performed necessary upgrade works to achieve compliance.

To accomplish these tasks, it was essential to open up existing walls and ceilings, which were then meticulously restored. Throughout the process, utmost care was taken to minimise disruptions to the operational offices, which remained in use while the renovation was underway.

BHA took on the task of the replacement of the Fire Alarm and Emergency exits , which involved strategic planning for the routes for the new services to ensure the least amount of disturbance on the existing building fabric and finishes. Making good to areas disturbed involved replacing with like for like material to match the existing finishes and re-decorating areas to match with the existing.

The venue remained live for the duration of the project and care was taken to work with the Clients to ensure that at the end of each shift the premises could be fully operational.
