Compartmentation and Partition Systems

Partition Systems for Passive Fire Protection

‍
We provide and install comprehensive passive fire protection systems, including fire-rated drywall, fire doors, and fire shutters. These systems are designed for compartmentation—sealing off vertical gaps, service penetrations, and cavities—to contain fire, smoke, and heat, preventing vertical spread and buying critical time for evacuation .

Passive Fire Protection
Our compartmentation solutions include fire-rated boards and sealants that provide up to 4 hours of fire resistance . Applied to walls, floors, ducts, and structural steel, these systems maintain integrity under extreme conditions, protecting critical infrastructure like cable trays, generators, and transformers .

The KITCI Way of Installing Passive Fire Protection Systems

Pre-Build
The service begins with a thorough assessment of your building's fire safety gaps, including vertical shafts, perimeter gaps, and wall/floor penetrations . Our team reviews your fire code requirements, recommends third-party-tested systems , and submits a proposal covering compartmentation strategy and material specifications for client approval. Planning includes staging areas for mobilization and detailed layouts for all fire-rated partitions and openings.

Build
Our methodology emphasizes compartmentation works, where we ensure all fire-rated walls, floors, and barriers are correctly installed to prevent fire and smoke from traveling . We install bottom and top tracks with proper fasteners, followed by studs assessed for verticality. For service penetrations, we apply fire-rated sealants, collars, and wraps around pipes, cables, and ducts . Where specified, fire doors and shutters with built-in failsafes are installed to maintain compartment lines . Insulation and joint treatment are completed to ensure proper enclosure of work areas.

Once all fire protection systems are up, we proceed with a proper clean-up, followed by an inspection with our Quality Assurance Officer and the Client. Should there be any punch list items, our team will rectify the work. When the Client is satisfied with the rectification, a proper handover is made to conclude the service—ensuring your building is Built to Perform. Trusted for Life.
