What was needed
Cables passed through the fire-resisting wall of a commercial server room, and the cabling was expected to change over time as equipment was added and replaced.
What we did
Our engineers fitted a Hilti fire sleeve system around the cable penetrations, using third-party certified products installed to the manufacturer’s tested details.

The result
The wall’s fire resistance is restored around the cables, and cables can be added or removed later without redoing the fire stopping.
