Fire Block was honoured to be appointed as the main contractor for firestopping at the Christies hospital in Manchester in 2022.
The projects scope included implementing passive fire protection measures throughout the hospital to safeguard the wellbeing of staff, patients and visitors.
The team installed fully compliant passive fire protection systems designed to provide 2 hours of fire resistance. These measures spanned key structural areas within the hospital offering robust cavity barriers to contain and limit the spread of fire.
The projects completion marked a significant enhancement in fire safety for the Christie hospital. The newly installed fire protection systems provide critical safeguards that minimise fire-related risks and ensure the safe evacuation of occupants in the event of an emergency.
