Passive fire protection for transport and infrastructure
Transport buildings never really close. Stations, depots and control buildings run around the clock, carry dense cable and pipe services, and are subject to operator fire safety standards as well as the Fire Safety Order. TECS delivers fire door surveys, repairs and fire stopping for transport operators, their facilities providers and principal contractors, working in possessions, engineering hours and agreed access windows.
Our teams are used to security-controlled sites, permits and inductions. Tell us the access and competence requirements at enquiry stage and we will confirm we can meet them before we quote. Every door and penetration is recorded in OneTrace, so the asset owner holds a complete, searchable record of the passive fire protection on the estate.
What the regulations require
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to stations, depots and infrastructure buildings, and the duty holder must maintain fire doors and compartmentation. Many operators also run their own fire safety standards and asset inspection regimes, which typically require photographed evidence, unique asset references and traceable remedial work. OneTrace is built for exactly that.
Typical scope on a transport estate
Estate-wide fire door surveys with a unique reference, photographs and a pass, fail or advisory for every door
Repairs and replacement of fire doors to plant rooms, staff areas, back-of-house corridors and escape routes
Fire stopping of cable routes, communications risers, ducts and pipework through compartment walls and floors
Compartmentation surveys of plant rooms, substations and ceiling voids
Remedial programmes delivered in night possessions and engineering hours
Planned maintenance across station groups and depot portfolios
How we work on operational infrastructure
We work to your possession plan, safe system of work and security procedures, with operatives inducted before arrival. Works are sequenced so passenger areas stay open and escape routes are never compromised. Reports are issued per location with priorities, so the asset team can plan budgets and track closure of each defect.
Services transport clients use most
Fire door inspections, fire door repairs, fire stopping, compartmentation surveys and planned maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work in night possessions and engineering hours?
Yes. We plan shift patterns around your possession and access windows, and can mobilise several teams to make the most of short working periods.
Do your operatives hold site-specific competencies?
Our operatives carry CSCS cards and the certifications behind our BM TRADA Q-Mark schemes. Where an operator requires a specific competency or vetting, tell us at enquiry stage and we will confirm availability before quoting.
How are records handed over?
Through OneTrace, which gives each door and seal a unique reference, photograph and location. Reports export as PDF or data for your asset management system.
