Does your project require modifications to a previously fire-tested passive fire protection (PFP) system? The Warringtonfire Technical Team specializes in evaluating the feasibility of extending or adding scope to existing PFP assemblies. We leverage fire test data from the parent system to analyse the impact of proposed changes, ranging from minor adjustments to complex designs involving multiple deviations. Our team is proficient at providing engineering judgments that comply with the latest Passive Fire Protection Forum (PFPF) guidelines for technical assessments. Recognizing the impracticality of fire testing for every conceivable configuration, we collaborate with you to develop a comprehensive test plan that maximizes applicability for your specific application. This plan incorporates maximum scope for certification, direct field use, extended application rules, and potential future design modifications. Building safety is paramount in construction engineering. The Warringtonfire Technical Team offers meticulously analysed engineering judgments that adhere to the most recent PFPF guidelines. To connect with one of our PFP experts, please contact us here: https://lnkd.in/eNDg-Zd3

We were thrilled to host GERDA SECURITY at Warringtonfire’s High Wycombe Laboratory last week for testing! A big thankyou to Piotr Zarnoch and his team for the timely and detailed information, which allowed Technical Officer, Stephen Dorme, to hand over a final draft report shortly after completion of the test. Amazing job, Stephen! Piotr, Technical Manager at GERDA SECURITY, shared: “It is great to see High Wycombe Warringtonfire addressing feedback on report delays, recognising the impact on manufacturers. We’ve worked together for years, and it’s great to see this faster report turnaround. Draft reports are now issued almost immediately after testing. Well done, Warringtonfire High Wycombe!” We’re committed to continuous improvement, focusing on: Faster test report deliveries – With full technical details in advance, reports are delivered quickly. Stronger customer service – Dedicated Project Managers and a single point of contact ensure we fully understand your needs. Experience our improvements for yourself! 📧 Email us at [email protected] with your testing enquiries, and a member of our team will get back to you shortly.
