Lancefield Guy - Fire Risk Assessment

Tender description

This project is being commissioned by the Scottish Government, Local Government and Communities Directorate, Building Standards Division on behalf of Scottish Ministers. This project is required to support and help deliver the Scottish Government’s commitments in undertaking assessment of fire risk on an identified high rise building with 321 dwellings in Glasgow. The Scottish Government are committed to providing support and remediation where risks, due to unsafe cladding systems on external walls, have been identified and assessed by a competent professional (chartered fire engineer for buildings over 18m) . The SBA programme has been introduced and will either carry out or support fully funded safety assessments to determine domestic multi occupancy buildings with a fire safety risk. The assessment will identify the repairs needed to make buildings safe. A pilot phase of the SBA program is underway, this is a selected 27 buildings from the initial EOI group (which was a nationwide survey of applicants), this project is to help deliver an SBA for a single building from the 27 building pilot group. The Pilot has identified buildings where previous assessments highlighted a potential risk to life. Risks may be of a result of the external wall cladding system, materials used or how they have been installed or where other fire safety issues have been identified such as a lack of fire breaks or cavity barriers
