Firestop Special Inspection and Effective Fire Barrier Management Programs

By Braun Intertec

Third Party Firestop Special Inspections are becoming increasingly more complex and detailed on a daily basis. With the adoptions by the International Building Code requiring the Third Party Firestop Special Inspections beginning in the 2012 cycle, we as a building community are seeing more projects being specified by the architect, and more Building Authorities requiring this special inspection.  With that, more education is being offered to the market with respect to inspector training. 

Watch the video below for for an in-depth look with Eric Bergman into the codes and standards that are driving the 3rd Party Firestop Special Inspection. The webinar explores the services around firestop consulting, inspections, and what architects, contractors, project managers, and installers should keep in mind as they plan, construct, and maintain firestops in their facilities.
