case study
Fire Integrity provided comprehensive passive fire protection services for the St Marks development in Lincoln. This project comprises 1,372 student accommodation units across 10 buildings, ranging from 4 to 10 storeys in height. The development is situated within the St Marks area, adjacent to the University of Lincoln's Brayford Pool Campus.
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. The application was executed in compliance with UK fire safety regulations, ensuring the required fire resistance ratings were achieved.
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.
Through these measures, Fire Integrity contributed to the creation of a safe and compliant environment for the residents and users of the St Marks development.
