Engineering Judgement
Engineering Judgments are widely used in the field of passive fire protection to address conditions not covered explicitly by UL or other fire and heat resistance testing. Extensive testing is carried out through 3rd party laboratories in both through penetration and construction joint firestop applications. These applications once tested and passed are then certified and given approvals under the standards that it has been tested. However, there will always be situations when a current tested system doesn’t accommodate a particular scenario that may present itself as all construction projects are different.
When this situation arises, Peritus PFP, in conjunction with leading manufacturers of passive fire protection products are able to undertake a study to review the scenario and provide an ‘Engineering Judgement’ for a solution to the issue and agree a strategy with the client and associated third parties.
