Compartmentation Surveys
Competent assessment of fire-resisting compartments to support compliance, remediation and asset management across occupied buildings.
Adman Int provides detailed compartmentation surveys to assess the integrity of fire-resisting walls, floors, voids and enclosure lines. Our surveys identify breaches, defects and areas of non-compliance that could compromise fire compartmentation, supporting clients in understanding risk and planning effective remedial action.
What Our Compartmentation Surveys Cover
Our surveys are designed to assess the continuity and condition of fire-resisting construction throughout a building, including both visible and concealed elements.
This typically includes:
-
Fire-resisting walls, floors and ceilings
-
Service risers, shafts and vertical compartments
-
Roof spaces, attic voids and ceiling voids
-
Plant rooms, cupboards and service enclosures
-
Interfaces between different construction elements
-
Service penetrations and concealed voids impacting compartment lines
Surveys are carried out methodically to ensure compartment lines are clearly understood and accurately recorded.
Survey Methodology & Approach
A structured, evidence-led approach to assessment.
Each compartmentation survey is delivered using a planned methodology, tailored to the building type, occupancy and client requirements.
Our approach includes:
-
Review of available drawings, fire strategies and FRA information
-
On-site inspections by competent surveyors
-
Identification of breaches, defects and poor workmanship
-
Assessment of compartment continuity across accessible areas
-
Recording of findings using consistent classification and terminology
Where access is restricted, limitations are clearly noted to support informed decision-making.
