Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) in Stoke

SFS provided structural steel fire protection for a multi-storey car park, delivering a durable external board system with compliant deflection detailing.

Structural Steel Fire Protection

Project overview

We provided high-level external fire protection works to structural steelwork within a multi-storey car park environment. The project required a robust boarding solution suitable for an exposed external setting, incorporating deflection detailing to accommodate structural movement.

The Challenge

The open air nature of this project demanded a solution that could withstand external exposure and structural movement while still meeting the required fire resistance performance.

  • Structural steelwork located in an external, open-air car park, exposed to weather and temperature variation.
  • Works carried out at high level, requiring careful planning for access and installation sequencing.
  • Fire protection system needed to maintain performance while allowing for structural deflection and movement.
  • The solution had to be durable, compliant, and suitable for a non-decorative, functional environment.
Our Solution

We implemented a fire protection board system designed for external durability, integrating deflection detailing and a controlled high-level installation process to ensure compliance and consistency throughout.

  • Structural Fireproofing Systems Ltd (SFS) installed a fire protection board system to the structural steelwork, selected for its suitability in an external car park environment.
  • Deflection details were incorporated into the installation to accommodate structural movement while maintaining fire resistance performance.
  • Works were completed by FIRAS-accredited operatives, following manufacturer guidance and approved installation details.
  • A controlled installation process was adopted for high-level works, ensuring safety, quality, and consistency throughout.
  • All installations were recorded with photographic QA evidence and documented in line with project compliance requirements.
The Results

The project was completed by fully accredited operatives, with deflection requirements, compliance, and full QA documentation successfully achieved.

  • Fully compliant fire protection installed to external structural steelwork.
  • Deflection requirements successfully accommodated without compromising fire performance.
  • A durable solution delivered, suitable for long-term exposure within a car park environment.
  • Full QA records and third-party certification provided as part of the project handover.
