BIM Services
BIM (Building Information Modelling) services enhance project visualisation, streamline information access, boost document coordination, speed up delivery, cut costs, and improve lifecycle data management for facility operations. By stakeholders collaborating on a building project where they simultaneously share design and construction information we can ensure efficiency and buildability.
Modelling & Detailed Drawings
Each element within the building should be modelled thus offering visibility to stakeholders such as Clients & Trade Contractors. We 3D model and provide detailed drawings for each element of our installation to demonstrate how they shall interact with the project as a whole. It's a very beneficial process in highlighting intersections, spacial constriants and opportunities for betterment.
Rules of Engagement
We understand that each and every project is unique but collaboration nevertheless is essential. Given our involvement in multiple trades and working alongside many others, we provide Rules of Engagement to ensure an efficient and compliant project
Understanding the unique challenges of each trade. For M&E, we provide clear protocols for managing cables, pipes, and live electrical components through fire-rated structures, ensuring communication, coordination, and compliance.
We form openings in substrates to accommodate compliant M&E installations and seal said openings, when passing through fire-resistance-rated walls and floors, to contain and prevent the spread of fire.
Our collaboration with all project stakeholders follows strict guidelines to ensure adherence to industry best practices and safety standards from day one.
Clash Detection / BIM
Clash detection identifies and resolves conflicts between building systems - such as fire protection, M&E, partitions and structure - during the design phase. It ensures systems don't occupy the same space, preventing issues before construction.
Key to efficient design, cost management, and effective coordination in construction projects.
One of our primary focuses with clash detection is that it prevents conflicts that can compromise fire-rated components/compartments, ensuring compliance by following manufacturer standards for spacing and openings.
Clash detection prevents costly design delays and ensures fire protection systems are properly installed, safeguarding the building and its occupants. Issues are designed out of contention long before site works commence.
Builderwork Drawings
Meticulous preparation is paramount. Builderwork drawings are crucial for a successful fire stopping and opes management strategy. They ensure that safety measures are well-planned and correctly executed, helping our buildings comply with regulations and stand the test of time.
These detailed plans specify the building's layout, elevations, and exact placement of openings and apertures, with clear fire stopping methodologies for each. This reduces errors and provides precise guidance for the construction team.
By defining tasks upfront, builderwork drawings eliminate reliance on individual judgment, ensuring alignment with a comprehensive, safety-compliant plan.
The process involves defining openings, joints, and penetrations for fire stopping, using 3D modelling to assign unique references and positions, reducing mistakes and creating a 'Builderwork Schedule' for required openings.
Builderwork drawings are documents that detail every opening and its corresponding fire stopping methodology to ensure the installation team can execute their tasks accurately and efficiently.
These drawings serve as essential records for inspections and maintenance. The specified opening labels and fire stopping methods provide a comprehensive overview of the fire safety measures implemented throughout the building.
Passive Fire Protection
Fire stopping, or compartmentation, involves sealing openings and joints in walls and floors with fire-resistant materials to prevent fire from spreading between building areas.
Firestopping Penetrations
Once walls are in place and mechanical and electrical work completed, our fire stopping engineers can take over. Using their expertise and advanced products, they will implement the fire stopping process, enhancing the building's safety and reinforcing its defences against fire and smoke.
What We Offer
We ensure fire safety and compliance through a clear, step-by-step process, all completed before workface interaction:
- Identify wall type (Flexible, Rigid, Composite) to determine firestopping procedures.
- Select the right firestop product based on testing, service type, composition, and fire rating.
- Install the firestop product, following specific guidelines.
- Ensure compliance with fire resistance ratings, installation guidance, and fire strategy.
- Consider additional protection for insulation and sensitive areas.
- Conduct regular inspections, quality control, and maintenance to maintain effectiveness throughout the project lifecycle.
Cavity Fire Barriers
Building compartmentation provides protected zones to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. Installing cavity barriers between substrates formalises said zones.
What We Offer
We ensure fire safety and compliance through a clear, step-by-step process, all completed before workface interaction:
- Identify cavities - Cladding to slab, slab to slab, structure to cladding or floor voids.
- Select the correct barrier material to suit required conditions and fire rating.
- Install the product, following specific guidelines.
- Ensure compliance with fire resistance ratings, installation guidance, and fire strategy.
- Consider additional protection for insulation and sensitive areas.
- Conduct regular inspections, quality control, and maintenance to maintain effectiveness throughout the project lifecycle.
Structural Encasement
All buildings are designed to withstand load before they reach the point of critical failure. Protecting from the affects of fire can ensure buildings remain structurally robust.
What We Offer
We ensure fire safety and compliance through a clear, step-by-step process, all completed before workface interaction:
- Identify structural steel section
- Select the correct encasement material to suit required conditions and fire rating.
- Install the encasement product, following specific guidelines.
- Ensure compliance with fire resistance ratings, installation guidance, and fire strategy.
- Consider additional protection for insulation and sensitive areas.
- Conduct regular inspections, quality control, and maintenance to maintain effectiveness throughout the project lifecycle.
Reporting & Operations
Firestopping is an essential part of building safety, preventing the spread of fire and smoke through penetrations and joints in walls and floors.
Reporting in Firestopping
Effective reporting is essential to firestopping. Our inspection reports include project details, Ope/Aperture references from Builderswork Elevation Drawings, and track installation status to ensure compliance. We use a robust system for easy tracking, featuring live recording capabilities uploaded to our internal Fire Log, third-party tools, and integrated BIM models, including BIM360.
Operations and Maintenance in Firestopping
Maintaining firestopping integrity requires regular inspections, repairs, and compliance checks across the facility.
Gerco Group provides a detailed O&M manual for maintaining systems, accessible via a QR code at the firestop. Both reporting and O&M are vital to ensure firestopping systems continue to protect against fire and smoke, enhancing building safety.
