NFRC PCS04 Controlling the combustible insulation risk during construction (MRK293).pdf

A case study on redeveloping a 16-storey mixed-use building and installing XPS insulation safely within an inverted warm roof system

NFRC Member Lindner Prater Ltd invited NFRC to create a case study on redeveloping a 16-storey mixed-use building and installing XPS insulation safely within an inverted warm roof system.  This case study demonstrates how construction-phase fire risks posed by combustible insulation were effectively managed in a dense urban setting through meticulous planning, just-in-time delivery, controlled storage, early encapsulation, and robust site fire safety measures.  It sets a benchmark for best practice in high-risk roofing projects.
