KABO GROUPSafety engineeringWe develop solutions for service penetrations, construction joints, textiles and other elements where the design requires passive fire protection.
We develop solutions for service penetrations, construction joints, textiles and other elements where the design requires passive fire protection.
KABO GROUP reviews the available information, prepares an agreed technical scope and completes the work with the defined documentation.
Inputs, system interfaces and completion evidence are agreed before work begins.

Open section↗Inputs, system interfaces and completion evidence are agreed before work begins.
Open section↗We assess the building use, protected area, fire risks, existing engineering services and the required performance before agreeing the technical solution.
The estimate reflects system size, equipment or materials, access conditions, interfaces, commissioning and the completion documents agreed for the project.
KABO GROUP can survey, design, supply, install, test and hand over the system, followed by planned maintenance where required.
During application we record material batches, substrate preparation, ambient conditions, consumption and intermediate measurements. Coatings are checked for thickness, continuity and adhesion; boards and penetration seals are checked as complete tested assemblies.
Handover may include work records, concealed-work records, area drawings, inspection protocols, material documentation and maintenance guidance. The exact package is agreed in the contract and design.
Mixed penetrations may contain cables, metal and plastic pipes, trays and insulation. Each service requires a compatible component of the tested system, such as boards, sealants, modules or collars.
Movement joints require systems capable of accommodating the specified movement. Geometry, substrate, joint width, backing and sealant depth must match the classified solution.
Audits identify unsealed openings, unknown products, new services, damage and missing labels. A register records photographs, dimensions, barrier type and proposed remediation.
Where an existing seal cannot be identified or falls outside an approved configuration, cosmetic patching is not sufficient. Removal and a new documented system are agreed.
This list explains the regulatory basis but is not a substitute for a project or a complete schedule for every building. Document status, amendments and building-specific requirements are verified when the project starts.
Regulates fireproofing work, conformity checks and continued serviceability of coatings, impregnation, encasement and products.

We receive drawings, specifications, fire-resistance requirements and available information about the site.
We verify the actual condition, geometry, access and preparation requirements.
We select a compatible fireproofing system and define the required scope.
We agree materials, quantities, site conditions, responsibilities and timing.
The selected solution must match the project requirements and the actual penetration configuration.
We start with the available information, a site survey and an agreed technical brief.
Cost depends on floor area, building configuration, system scope, access conditions and the required completion documents.
The building type, city, approximate area and required system are enough to begin.
