Fire Stopping Project for AJ Bell Stadium.
Introduction.
Fusion services are delighted to have been awarded the fire stopping project at the AJ Bell Stadium, located in Salford, Greater Manchester. AJ Bell serves as the home ground for both the Salford Red Devils Rugby League Football Club and the Sale Sharks Rugby Union Football Club. As part of its safety measures, a comprehensive fire stopping project was undertaken to enhance fire resistance and protect occupants, infrastructure, and assets.
Scope.
The fire stopping project covered the entire stadium, including:
1. Structural Penetrations: Identifying and sealing openings in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent fire and smoke spread.
2. Cable and Pipe Penetrations: Sealing cable trays, conduits, and pipe penetrations to maintain fire compartmentation.
Methodology.
1. Survey and Assessment:
o Conducted a survey to identify existing fire stopping deficiencies.
o Assessed the condition of fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings.
2. Sealing and Remediation:
o Used fire-resistant materials (intumescent sealants, fire collars, etc.) to seal penetrations.
3. Testing and Certification:
o Conducted post-installation tests to verify the effectiveness of fire stopping measures.
o Issued certificates for compliant areas.
Challenges.
• Access: Coordinating work across different areas of the stadium without disrupting daily operations.
Conclusion.
The fire stopping project at AJ Bell Stadium significantly enhances fire safety, ensuring compliance with regulations and safeguarding all stakeholders.
