Fire Remediation Works at Mill Court, Bandon, Co. Cork

The project involves the execution of fire remediation works to an existing 37-unit residential development located at Mill Court, Bandon, Co. Cork, on behalf of the client, Clúid Housing. The objective of the works is to address identified fire safety deficiencies in order to bring the building into compliance with current fire protection and life safety standards outlined in TGD Part B (Fire Safety) of the Building Regulations and other relevant codes such as IS 3218:2913 for fire alarm systems.

The scope of the remediation works includes, but is not limited to:

• Installation of fire-stopping systems at service penetrations and wall/floor junctions.
• Replacement or upgrade of fire-rated doors, closers, and seals to comply with TGD-B.
• Retrofitting of cavity barriers around gas flues and behind external cladding.
• Façade treatments including removal and reinstatement of cladding for fire barrier installation.
• Fire alarm cable rerouting and improvements to service risers and shafts.
• Sealing of socket/switch boxes within fire-rated partitions.
• General improvement of compartmentation and passive fire protection measures. All works will be undertaken within a live residential environment, requiring a high level of coordination to minimise disruption to residents.
