Passive Fire NZ Protection For Premium Aged Care Living
Contractor: Summerset Group
Passive Fire NZ was proud to provide passive fire protection for the Summerset St Johns retirement village in Auckland. Developed by Summerset Group Holdings, the multi-staged project includes independent living apartments, serviced apartments and a full care centre. Our team was tasked with ensuring the highest standard of fire safety throughout the facility, which will be home to over 200 residents. Passive Fire NZ has been involved in the project since stage one in 2019, proudly completing and signing off on Stage 9 in early 2025.
Our work at Summerset St Johns included the installation of fire-stopping solutions, fire-rated sealing systems and comprehensive compliance services across all building stages. This involved meticulous attention to fire compartmentation in walls, floors, risers and penetrations. We worked in close partnership with Greg Deuchar’s site management team to ensure all installations met New Zealand Building Code fire safety regulations to maintain a smooth construction process – a sighnifcant total of 15000+ penetrations were installed by PFNZ across 6 buildings.
Passive fire protection plays a vital role in keeping vulnerable residents safe in aged care facilities. By slowing the spread of fire and smoke, our solutions give residents time to evacuate and for emergency services to safely address any incidents.
