Fire Stopping M&E Services

Fire safety has become a major industry focus since the tragic events at Grenfell Tower in 2017. M&E service penetrations though fire compartment walls and ceilings may seem like a minor part of the overall fire stopping requirements on a project, yet they are actually extremely important.
