qualified engineers who have passed our rigorous in-house competency test. We utilise the latest 2D and 3D AutoCAD software for
coordination resulting in agreed layouts/drawings for construction. These drawings are then calculated using hydraulic software to confirm pipe sizes and water supply requirements to fit system demands and client specification/rules and regulations stipulated in the contract. Close

Project Management

Central to Firestoppers operations are the project management teams, each of whom are carefully selected for their all-round experience of fire protection systems and their ability to carry out all phases of a project.

Their responsibilities include:

Ensuring that the works on site are carried out under strict quality control.
Ensuring that good health and safety practices are followed on site at all times.
Monitoring progress against programmes and target dates.

Our policy has always been to give complete responsibility for a project to the Project Manager. This control covers input to design, procurement, installation, testing, commission handover to the client, including the training/instruction of client staff if required. One point of contact ensures ease of communication for clients, saves on time and provides greater job satisfaction for the Project Manager. The results speak for themselves, we have highly motivated, fully-trained staff who take pride in delivering high quality service to clients, time after time.

Training

Firestoppers can provide tailor-made training and awareness courses for your employees, delivered at the site where they work, with programmes to suit your business and complement our planned maintenance products. International and National fire protection laws note the importance of ongoing planned maintenance and testing of any commissioned system by appropriately trained personnel or certified companies.
