Looking for Micro Concrete Hole in the Building Structure for Fire Stop



Modern construction companies follow strict guidelines for the safety and durability of any building. There are strict codes of conduct that have to be followed by every construction firm in order to maintain its construction license. These codes of conduct are even stricter for massive sky scrapper and business plazas. These plazas and sky scrapers are so massive that any slightest of flaw or loop hole can cost million of rupees and thousands of lives which is why these structures are formed with ultra care and extensive consideration. One of the biggest issues that these buildings have to face is the constant threat of fire exhaustion. As these structures are so massive that any fire exhaustion can create massive panic which can consume hundreds of life, therefore fire-stop systems in such buildings is done with extreme care and thoughtfulness. 


Concrete is the most common material that is used in the construction of most mega projects. Concrete is considered as a fire proof material and completely safe from any fire damage. Moreover, concrete is also considered as fire stop material that can stop fire from spreading. However, the micro concrete analysis can show that any holes or cracks in concrete structure can result in weakening the fire resistance of concrete and that the fire can spread out in no time from these openings and cracks. Keeping this dangerous situation in sight, all massive concrete structures are constantly looked for any possible openings or holes that can aid in the spreading of fire. These micro-concrete holes serve as the gateway for fire spreading and therefore needs to be shut immediately in order to prevent any catastrophic event. Fire stop companies made use of different fire resistant material to fill in any openings in the walls or floors of the buildings in order to make building safe from fire. 


These companies are proficient in their search and work delicately for the fire stop safety of the structure. No matter how small the cracks or openings in your building structure may be, they are lethal openings for the fire to spread and you need to shut them down immediately.
