In the early stages of the project Taylor and Fraser identified serious deficiencies associated with the integrity of the existing fire compartmentation, this included a lack of fire dampers, existing fire dampers not being structurally secured, as well as the structural integrity shortcomings and gaps within the existing fire separation barriers. A remedial scheme was proposed and developed by Taylor and Fraser in conjunction with our specialist supply chain partners to provide a fully compliant remedial scheme, which was agreed and mobilised quickly.
