Thanet Earth is the UK’s leading producer of salad vegetables, where an estimated 400 million tomatoes and 30 million cucumbers are grown every year: with the initial processing and packaging being carried out in a facility whose 900m² roof structure has had its fire protection upgraded using products from the range of FIREFLY®.
The specialist contractor involved, London based CA Fire Protection, is a regular user of FIREFLY® and called in the manufacturer’s local Technical Sales Manager for advice when it was invited to tender for the challenging retrofit project.
Following a detailed site inspection and discussions, FIREFLY ® Zeus Horizontal was specified in combination with FIREFLY® Collaroll and FIREFLY® Penowrap to offer continuous 60-minute protection across the soffit, which features numerous down-stands and building services installations. The FIREFLY® Penowrap and FIREFLY® Collaroll were employed to ensure continuity around roof beams as well as the hangers for the cable trays and other services. The lightweight and flexible FIREFLY® Penowrap has been developed to complement other FIREFLY® fire barrier systems. www.tbafirefly.com
