Passive Fire Protection Delivered at Summerset Waikanae Retirement Village in the Wellington Region

When it comes to retirement and hospital level care, comfort, safety and peace of mind matter – there is no room for compromise. As a team, family and protection is at the heart of all we do – it is always front of mind.

At Summerset Waikanae on the Kāpiti Coast in the hashtag#Wellington region, Passive Fire NZ was engaged to deliver the full passive fire scope for the Residential Main Building.

Over 12 months, our team completed more than 3,000 specialist installation hours, ensuring every service penetration and fire rated wall and floor maintained the required compartmentation under the New Zealand Building Code.

The result?

✔ All inspections passed
✔ No remedial works required
✔ Installations delivered clean, concealed and inspection ready
✔ Smooth progression through to final handover

In environments where residents rely on care and protection, confidence in life safety systems matters.

Passive fire often sits behind the walls and is not always seen. But it must perform when it matters most.

A big thank you to the Summerset Retirement Villages site team for their strong collaboration and shared commitment to quality and compliance.

We look forward to working together again!
