Our team was tasked with fire system upgrades to Building D at Friendly Society Private Hospital to facilitate building approval for a proposed kitchen refurbishment. A fire engineering assessment was undertaken which identified the required rectification works to ensure ongoing safety and obtain building approval.

• Smoke compartmentation for horizontal evacuation and separation.

• Smoke separation systems in key areas and exit stairs.

• Upgraded smoke detection, alarms, and HVAC systems.

• Altered storage areas in exit corridors.

We worked with the team at Sunwest Constructions to develop a fire protection system for a new two-storey warehouse for BFX Furniture. When the client’s architect was unable to determine a solution, our team was engaged to design and install a four-hour fire protection system to the steel columns and intersecting beams within the warehouse.

• Fire protection system for 32 steel columns and beams.

• Two-part solution for strict fire rating compliance.

• Collaboration to overcome design challenges.

• Achieved a four-hour fire protection rating.

We were engaged to undertake a series of rectification projects, repairs and refurbishments at Yukana Private Aged Care and Retirement Living. The original buildings at the facility had not been built to modern fire safety standards, so we were tasked to investigate and identify passive fire and smoke works required to achieve code compliance, and then complete these works across multiple stages.

• Smoke walls, fire doors, and signage installation.

• Repositioned smoke doors and installed access panels.

• Power outlets fireproofed and reinstalled.

• Compliance documentation with photographic records.

Our team was enlisted to complete multiple rectification works at Australian Catholic University’s Brisbane campus, after a fire safety engineering assessment and building audit identified multiple areas of non-compliance. Over a period of five months, we implemented a series of passive fire systems while remaining respectful of the students and staff who continued to use the facility daily.

• Repairs to fire walls with TBA FIREFLY® products.

• Fire-rated ceilings, doors, and compartmentation systems.

• Detection, alarm, and emergency lighting upgrades.

• Fire curtain installations for stairwells.

Lendlease engaged the 2Code Fire & Build team for a series of remedial repairs to two four-storey apartment buildings in Helensvale. We developed a two-pronged approach to the project, ensuring we were mindful of residents as the facility remained open throughout construction.

• Fire solutions for top floors and car parks.

• Sprinkler systems with pumps, tanks, and detection.

• Integrated fire alarms and emergency systems.

• Remediation of non-compliant balconies.

Our team was enlisted to complete firewall upgrades and repairs at the Blue Care Argyle Gardens Retirement Living facility. This saw us work closely with fire and structural engineers to protect the property’s integrity and ensure the safety of all occupants.

• We assessed and repaired 293 unit firewalls.

• Roofing was lifted to build ceiling firewalls.

• Solutions met National Construction Code.

• Products included plasterboard, Intubatt, and Firefly.
