Firestop Inspection App

It covers the same job. Fire barrier inspections in most facilities focus on the penetrations and joints that pass through rated walls and floors, which is exactly what this app records. Doors and dampers in the barrier are separate assets with their own inspections, so they have their own apps. Keeping penetrations, doors, and dampers apart means each inspection has the right fields, while the barrier's full history can still be reviewed by location. One firestop page also avoids splitting the same inspection across two different names.

A firestop installation is only as good as its match to the tested and listed system for that assembly and penetration type. Two seals can look the same while one uses the wrong sealant, depth, or annular space. Recording the approved system next to photos lets inspectors judge each installation against the right detail, and makes sure repairs use the correct products. It also gives reviewers a clear basis for each pass or fail recorded in the inspection. Reference the system datasheet in the record so reviewers can check the detail.

Teams that inspect installed firestop to ASTM E2174 for penetrations or ASTM E2393 for joints can record the fields their process requires, such as the system reference, destructive or visual inspection method, and results. The app does not certify an installation or replace a qualified inspector. Decisions about ratings, acceptable systems, and repair methods stay with your firestop professionals and the authority responsible for the building. Configure the fields once, so every inspector records each penetration and joint in the same way.

An above ceiling inspection controls work in the space above ceilings: permits, cabling, dust precautions, and closeout. It flags penetrations it finds but does not inspect them in detail. This app is the detailed firestop inspection: each penetration and joint recorded against its approved system, with defects and repairs tracked to reinspection. Penetrations flagged during above-ceiling work can be passed to a firestop inspection so they are checked properly. That keeps permit control and detailed seal inspection as two separate, focused records.
