Project details
Helix FMS was appointed by Lodestone Projects to undertake a comprehensive passive fire protection survey and remedial programme at the Innovation Close building, located on the University of York campus.
This multi-floor facility plays a key role in academic innovation and research, and required full inspection and certification of its fire-rated wall infrastructure to ensure building-wide compartmentation compliance and fire resilience.
Helix FMS carried out a full survey of all fire-rated walls across every floor of the Innovation Close building, highlighting and identifying each defect during the survey. Following client approval, our certified fire installers returned to site to complete all highlighted remedial works, restoring compartmentation integrity throughout the building.
The Innovation Close building is now fully upgraded with certified fire stopping throughout its fire-rated wall systems, significantly enhancing the safety of staff, students, and visitors. Helix FMS continues to support higher education and research facilities with precision-led passive fire protection services. Our ability to survey, remediate, and document at scale makes us a trusted partner for large, multi-floor environments where compliance, detail, and minimal disruption are essential.
