What is a fire compartmentation survey?

A compartmentation survey assesses the integrity of the fire-resistant barriers within a building — walls, floors, fire doors, and service penetrations such as pipes and cables passing through compartment walls. Breaches in compartmentation can allow fire and smoke to spread rapidly between areas. A compartmentation survey identifies these breaches so they can be remediated, restoring the building's fire containment capability. It is often required for older buildings or those that have been refurbished.
