Fire Compartmentation for one of the UK’s leading football teams.
Company: Manchester City Football Club Location: Manchester
Manchester City Football Club is a global leader in elite football, with world-class facilities to support its first team and academy.
Following a recent refurbishment of the first team training building at the Etihad Training Campus, we were appointed to carry out a fire compartmentation survey and deliver fire stopping solutions for newly installed services.
The Etihad Campus is a state-of-the-art complex designed to the highest performance and safety standards. Our role was to help ensure that fire compliance remained integral to its evolving infrastructure.
The challenge
The refurbishment introduced new mechanical and electrical services that passed through existing fire compartments, creating a risk to the building’s fire strategy if not properly addressed.
Our task was to identify and resolve these risks without disruption to the daily operation of a highly secure, performance-focused environment.
Clear documentation and compliance transparency were also essential to align with the client’s internal standards and regulatory expectations.
Our approach
We conducted a detailed fire compartmentation survey across the refurbished areas, identifying breaches and assessing existing protection. Based on our findings, we implemented targeted fire stopping to reinstate compartmentation where services had penetrated fire-resisting elements.
The outcome
We provided Manchester City FC with a clear, verifiable record of their upgraded fire protection measures, supporting long-term compliance and future-proofing their training campus infrastructure.
By combining expert assessment with certified installation and digital reporting, we ensured that the refurbished facility met the highest fire safety standards - without compromising the integrity or flow of day-to-day operations.
