Soundcraft installing 3000 fire doors at Kingston University

Soundcraft is two thirds of the way through completing the re-instatement and installation of over 3000 fire doors and doorsets for Kingston University in Surrey, across many of the University’s teaching and residential sites.

The works on the project, valued at c£800,000, are being carried out in accordance with BS8214 and the requirements of Exova BM Trada’s 3^rd Party Certification Schemes for the Installation and Maintenance of Fire Doors.

New doorsets, which are 3^rd party certified, are mostly laminate faced, either FD30S or FD60S fire rated, in singles and pairs. Specific attention has been paid to ensuring compliance with the University’s strategic access and equality policy, with particular emphasis on complying with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, the DDA and Part M. In some cases new glazed timber screens have been installed, incorporating pairs of doors.

Work is scheduled to be completed in the Spring of 2013.
