Fire Rating- Brisbane City Hall
The Brisbane City Hall is one of the city's most iconic buildings, so when ABI group were placed in charge of the building's restoration, there were strict instructions to ensure the integrity of the building was maintained; both from a structural repair perspective and a from an aesthetic point of view.
Part of the project required installation of a 'fireproof' material which would help protect the building structure against the threat of fire, yet which could be installed early enough in the restoration phase that it could withstand being exposed to potential water ingress which may be an issue during the early build phase. ABI considered a number of fire rating options including a gyprock based fire board and a fire spray, but ruled both out due to their susceptibility to moisture. In the end, ABI group appointed Remedial Building Services to install Glasroc F (fibreglass based fire rated board) and Nullifire S707-60. Both have superior resistance to moisture (Glasroc F comprises fibreglass components and is much more resilient to water than gyprock based alternatives).
Over a period of 4 months, Remedial worked around other trades to install the required solution to various areas of the building to meet differing FRL's including 60 minute, 90 minute and 120 minute FRL's.
