Following the continued progress through Devonport Dockyard improvement works, the ongoing successful working relationship between Interserve and AF Protection has been further demonstrated having now been granted the contract to upgrade the remedial fire stopping systems to a host of schools in Cornwall that they maintain.

Much like the accommodation blocks in Devonport Dockyard, a passive fire protection survey has been conducted on over a dozen schools in the Cornwall area. The survey assessed the standard of installed passive fire protection systems in each school in relation to their current fire strategy plan and highlighted issues in need of improvement. Interserve granted AF Protection the contract to follow these surveys and ensure that these problems be rectified to meet the fire strategy requirements in preparation for the following school year. The works mainly require fire stopping and penetration sealing system upgrades to various fire walls within the schools, however there are also fire door upgrades throughout as well as some needing cavity barrier installs.
