case study

This mixed-use project, situated at the junction of Glasshouse Street, King Edward Street, and Lower Parliament Street, encompasses 580 student accommodation units, 96 open market and affordable homes, along with commercial and retail spaces.

Our team applied high-performance intumescent coatings to the structural steel elements throughout the development. These coatings are designed to expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming an insulating layer that protects the steel from fire-induced weakening, thereby maintaining the building's structural integrity during a fire.

In addition to intumescent spraying, Fire Integrity installed fire stopping systems at critical locations. These systems are essential for preventing the spread of fire and smoke between compartments, thereby maintaining the building's fire compartmentation strategy. The fire stopping materials used were selected to meet the specific fire resistance requirements of the project and were installed in accordance with relevant UK standards.

Through these measures, Fire Integrity contributed to the creation of a safe and compliant environment for the residents and users of the King Edward Court development.
