Fenland Fire Contracts

Fire Rated Ductwork

Fenland Fire Contracts formed in 1996 to offer solutions for problems relating to fire stopping and fire insulation, within the ductwork industry.

However it rapidly became apparent that the ductwork industry was looking for an alternative fire rated duct system that they could manufacture, and include within their tender package when tendering for conventional galvanised steel ductwork projects.

An initial test was carried out at the end of 1998 for fire inside (Type B) Duct and a test in early 1999 for fire outside (Type A) Duct. Further tests have been undertaken to provide data for various alternative requirements.
