case study
Under the NHS estate remediation framework, Kier is delivering multi-site hospital upgrades, focusing on fire-safety, life-extension, and structural improvements across multiple live hospital sites.
As of 2024, the UK government identified hundreds of NHS hospitals containing reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) roof and floor panels, which are structurally vulnerable and fire-risk sensitive.
Fire Integrity provides specialist passive fire protection expertise to this framework, ensuring all remediation works meet current regulatory requirements and best-practice fire-safety standards. Our services - including fire compartmentation, cementitious wet spray, intumescent painting, air sealing and testing, off-site spraying, and detailed inspections and surveys - are applied to prevent fire spread, enhance structural fire resistance, and safeguard patients and staff.
By engaging early in the design and planning stages, Fire Integrity ensures that fire-safety risks are addressed proactively, latent hazards are mitigated, and all works are delivered to a verifiable, audit-ready standard. Our role adds significant value by reducing rework, improving compliance, and providing confidence that each hospital is safe, resilient, and fully protected against fire hazards.
2022 NHS survey found that 15–20% of hospital buildings had critical fire safety defects.
