Stairwell pressurization systems are essential for maintaining safe evacuation routes during emergencies. At Airxpress Testing, we specialize in stairwell pressurization testing in Canberra, ensuring that your building’s system operates effectively to protect occupants and comply with Australian fire safety standards.
Benefits of Stairwell Pressurization Testing
Stairwell pressurization testing involves verifying that your stairwell maintains positive air pressure compared to adjacent spaces. This pressure prevents smoke from entering the stairwell, providing a clear path for safe evacuation during a fire.
Enhanced Fire Safety
Proper pressurization ensures that stairwells remain smoke-free, protecting building occupants during emergencies.
Compliance with Regulations
Testing ensures compliance with Australian fire safety codes and standards, helping you avoid penalties and ensuring safety.
Improved System Reliability
Routine testing identifies and addresses issues early, ensuring your pressurization system functions effectively when needed.
