MASEFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL

Following the successful works at Red Lane Primary School, the BASE Academy Trust invited Stratus9 Consulting Limited to undertake further work across their building estate.  A comprehensive review of the other properties within the Trust was undertaken and it became evident that urgent fire safety compliance upgrades were required within Masefield Primary School, which if left unchecked introduce unacceptable risks to life safety in the event of a fire.

Masefield Primary School had numerous fire door sets that were old, worn, ineffective, damaged and non-compliant.  These would have provided little to no protection from the spread of fire, smoke, heat and breaches into protected areas and escape routes would be inevitable.  These wholesale breaches of fire compartmentation to the building fabric would greatly inhibit the performance of the building in the event of a fire.

With Stratus9’s help Masefield Primary was fully refurbished with the latest fire door technology.  The project was undertaken during the summer period, minimising the impact on the school’s daily business.
