FIRE WALLS
GET IN TOUCH
FP McCann manufactures two types of prestressed panels that are ideal for fire walling.
With the choice of vertical cantilever panels or horizontal panels and columns, fire walling is designed to contain fire from 30 minutes up to 4 hours, depending on the thickness of the panel.
Rapid installation is possible due to the tongue and grooved joints. Standard column sections vary dependant on overall wall height and are made to order to suit customer requirements. Fire walls and columns can be manufactured to the clients’ own design or to FP McCann’s design specification.
Key features and benefits:
Horizontal Panel Fire Walls
- Overall wall heights of up to 10 metres effective height can be achieved
- Panels slot between precast columns and are embedded into the ground via preformed pockets, which are then grouted into position using high-strength grout
- It negates the need for a full length trench to be excavated and poured with concrete, instead favouring easily formable localised pockets at specific centres
Vertical Cantilever Panel Fire Walls
- Overall wall heights of up to 7.5 metres can be achieved
- The panels are slotted and grouted into a preformed pocket in the bund/foundation
