New fire protection guideline from Saint-Gobain

Fires cause billions of euros in economic damage every year in Germany. Effective preventive structural fire protection helps safeguard both lives and property. A newly published fire protection guide brings together the expertise of four Saint-Gobain companies: ISOVER, RIGIPS, HES and Kaimann and describes safe solutions for planning and installing pipe systems. The document is now available for free download at www.saint-gobain.de/loesungen/hochbau/haus-und-gebaeudetechnik.

The new 64-page fire protection guide provides concrete solutions for the proper, MLAR-compliant routing of pipelines through fire-resistant building components and wooden beam ceilings, as well as encapsulation in mandatory corridors. Technical illustrations and clear tables present various insulation and partitioning options based on ISOVER, RIGIPS, HES, and Kaimann fire protection systems in a practical manner and show possible combinations of different products. The guide helps specialist planners and installers solve common fire protection interface problems on construction sites and ensures smooth construction processes.

First, fire protection management for non-combustible and combustible pipelines through lightweight partition walls, solid walls, and ceilings is described. On the other hand, it presents professional solutions and special constructions for routing through wooden beam ceilings up to F 90. Another chapter focuses on safe implementation options for pipelines in escape and rescue routes and includes a recommendation for the dimensions of encapsulating cold-running pipes.
