Fire Damper Servicing and Repair

Most of the existing plant and ductwork on site is more than 25 years old including around 330 fire dampers. These fire dampers have not been regularly maintained in the past and NIBSC requires that all should be accessible so they can be maintained by NIBSC Maintenance staff in the future. A recent survey revealed which dampers were not easily accessible. Accessible dampers were tested at the time.

The Agency requires a competent provider to test all fire dampers on site, cleaning and/or replacing as required to ensure adequate fire protection. To improve access to dampers where required, such that testing can be adequately carried out.
