Ctrldoc’s Firedoc app gives your fire contractor complete control and unmatched insight into fire safety compliance throughout the construction process.
Let’s take a look at how you can use this app to guarantee fire safety at every stage of the construction process.
One of the key features of the Firedoc app is that it offers a streamlined approach to tracking fire penetrations. Fire penetrations refer to the openings in fire-resistant walls, floors or ceilings for things like pipes or cables.
To ensure fire safety, these penetrations need to be properly sealed off to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in the event of a fire breaking out in the building. This compartmentalisation is a crucial aspect of ensuring fire safety.
When working on a large project, it can become cumbersome to keep track of all the penetrations throughout the building. This is why you need an app like Firedoc to help you document and manage these penetrations in real-time.
By logging and detailing them, you can ensure they are addressed before the construction project is completed. Tracking every fire penetration with precise location data, profile information and photographic evidence will reduce the likelihood of leaving any fire penetrations in a non-compliant state.
One of the most crucial fire safety standards that every construction project needs to adhere to is AS4072.1, which is Australia’s standard for fire protection of openings in fire-resistant elements.
Firedoc is specifically designed to help construction projects meet these compliance requirements by enabling the construction team to implement the correct fire protective measures necessary for each type of fire penetration.
The app has advanced features such as auto-pin to simplify compliance through the automatic creation of records and location IDs, thereby reducing the risk of human error and enhancing the ease of compliance. Photographic evidence linked to the location IDs further assists in straightforward inspections and ensures traceable work.
Firedoc’s ability to support multiple users across an organisation helps ensure that various stakeholders in a construction project can collaborate. Because all the fire penetration data is easily viewable by all, teams can work together to ensure that all aspects of fire safety in the construction project are adequately addressed.
The cloud-based technology, along with streamlined documentation and reporting capabilities and seamless inter-team communication, ensures that fire safety issues are addressed promptly.
Ultimately, the centralised and easily accessible cloud-based data management, combined with automation of the reporting process, reduces the administrative burden on teams and ensures seamless integration and collaboration for a more accurate assessment of a construction project's fire safety readiness.
With Firedoc, your fire contractor can access the latest technology to track the fire safety level of your construction progress, from start to finish. Contact Ctrldoc today to find out more.
