Fire Compartmentation Survey, Fire Door Survey & Fire Door Remedial Works
Service Overview
In response to stringent fire safety regulations and the paramount importance of ensuring the well-being of occupants, Leicester City Football Club (LCFC) engaged Element to conduct a comprehensive fire compartmentation survey and a meticulous fire door survey within their premises. The primary objective was to identify potential fire risk issues and assess the condition of fire doors throughout the building. Our team of experts conducted a thorough examination, inspecting fire doors in various areas of the stadium, including entrances, corridors, and emergency exits. The survey revealed several areas that required immediate attention to comply with fire safety standards. Subsequently, Element undertook remedial work, implementing necessary repairs and upgrades to bring the fire doors up to the required regulatory standards. By collaborating with Element, LCFC has reinforced its commitment to the safety of its staff, players, and visitors, ensuring a secure environment while preserving the integrity of the building. The successful collaboration between LCFC and Element stands as a model for proactive fire safety management within sports facilities.

Challenges Faced
Conducting fire stopping surveys and remedial works at King Power Stadium, Leicester, presents several unique challenges. The sheer size of the stadium can make it difficult to cover all areas efficiently and certain fire stopping tasks may require working at significant heights, posing safety risks. Our team are trained and certified to carry out fire stopping installations in all capacities and ensure all necessary safety protocols are in place. The design and construction of the stadium may present unique challenges, such as hard-to-reach areas or non-standard construction materials, whilst also navigating and working around existing installations like electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems without causing damage.
By anticipating and addressing these challenges, Element Passive Fire Protection effectively conducted fire stopping surveys and remedial works at King Power Stadium, ensuring both safety and regulatory compliance.
