Collaboration Ensures Fire Safety at Glasgow Multi-Storey Development

/in /by

At Holemasters Fire Protections, we take pride in delivering high-quality fire safety solutions that meet the most rigorous industry standards. Our latest project at Calton Village, Glasgow, in collaboration with McTaggart Construction and TBA Firefly, highlights the importance of expert planning and teamwork in ensuring the safety of multi-storey developments.

As part of Wheatley Group’s housing initiative, the development required a tailored fire protection system to address compartmentation and heat spread, preventing the passage of smoke, flames, and toxic gases. Working closely with our partners, we implemented a 60-minute fire integrity solution using Firefly’s Batt system, rigorously tested at WarringtonFire to ensure compliance with real-life fire scenarios.

Through collaborative expertise, we successfully delivered a system that enhances fire safety and supports the long-term protection of residents and the building structure.
