PROJECT BACKGROUND
Stafford Hospital, Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust are undergoing a refurbishment of £16m including Building Work which incorporates a Fire Compartmentation Study which NIFES were commissioned to complete.
The Trust required a fire study to establish the current level of compliance to prioritise capital and maintenance investment.

OUR APPROACH
NIFES Consulting Group was commissioned to undertake a Fire Compartmentation Study.
This was primarily to offer compliance assurance to the Trust with a view to identify high, significant, moderate and low risks. Simultaneously NIFES undertook Fire Risk Assessments throughout the estate.
A team of specialist fire surveyors and consultants carried out the commission.
SUMMARY
