Plymouth City Council are following a line of successful projects whereby ex-service personnel construct unique self-build homes in the hopes of learning new skills and training for future employment. The 24-home site in Millbay, Plymouth is currently being managed by Devon and Cornwall Housing and Interserve, and AF Protection have been contracted to complete specialist passive fire protection works required on site. The work includes fire stopping and penetration sealing to the various communal corridors and fire escape routes, as well as a small amount of intumescent paint to structural steel elements. Works are set to commence at the beginning of 2017 and be completed as the project progresses over the coming months.
