Successful Air Sealing & Fire Sealing comes from understanding and
coordinating the air sealing details from the offset, and understanding
the huge variety of modern materials which combine to form the construction
of all types of modern buildings. Air Pressure Testing have delivered
airtight envelopes to similar construction types in the past and are
able to install durable, cost-effective solutions. If a building construction
is a one off we will look at this in isolation to develop a practical
way forward.
Should a building fail its first air test, you can rest assured Air
Pressure Testing will have the skills to deliver a solution. Air Pressure
Testing has a 100% success rate in reducing air leakage rates, to below
that stated in specifications. After a number of failed air tests; we
have taken over the Air Tightness duties on projects where other Air
Tightness Testing companies have been removed due to poor performance
issues, in these instances the customer has repeatedly used Air Pressure
Testing as a one stop solution for all there Air and Fire Sealing requirements.
Our typical remedial works take between 2 days to two weeks depending
on the extent of works/size of project required.
We also carryout work at night or weekends to minimise disruption, this
is often undertaken on projects such as Power Stations and Hospitals.
We have built up a large data base of customers by offering
our clients:
• A well managed safe system of works
• Effective proactive service that operates around your requirements
• A rapid value engineered cost-efficient service
Air barrier & seal lines of buildings and enclosures
The air barrier needs to be continuous around the whole envelope, this
includes; floor, roof & walls. The components that make up the air
barrier needs to be durable and maintainable in the long term. The air
seal line can be drawn on construction drawings, showing the physical
barrier that make up the airtight envelope of the building. The maintainable
aspect is extremely important for Fire Enclosure Testing as there may
be ongoing service penetration updates, which will require quick effective
repairs to ensure its ongoing integrity.
If you require Air Pressure Testing to coordinate your site/building/s
enclosure testing; please download our Annual Enclosure Testing Regime
form. Once downloaded fill it out; with the number of enclosures required
and the annual date; and we will set up a testing schedule to cater
for your requirements.
