• Company: Balfour Beatty

• Location: Merseyside

• Overview: Fire rated full height partition to segregate welding areas in a factory

• Solution: Hoardfast Flamescreen & Flexiwall

Balfour Beatty plc is a multinational infrastructure group based in the United Kingdom with capabilities in construction services, support services and infrastructure investment. They were working on a customer project in their pre-fabrication facility located in Bromborough, Merseyside, and required a fire rated and cost effective full height partition to segregate the mild steel and stainless steel grinding and welding areas.

There were two major requirements from the final partition design, firstly it was essential that the partition created a tight seal floor-to-ceiling to prevent one area contaminating the other. Secondly the partition needed to be fire rated as there would be grinding and welding occurring right beside it.
