Strengthening Fire Safety at RD&E: Vesta Sol Completes Fire-Stopping Works at the Renal Kidney Ward

Vesta Sol is proud to have recently delivered a package of comprehensive fire-stopping works at the Renal Kidney Ward of the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (RD&E). In a setting where safety, continuity of care, and regulatory compliance are paramount, our team ensured the hospital’s critical clinical spaces continue to meet the highest standards of passive fire protection.

Precision Fire Protection in a Live Healthcare Environment

Hospitals present some of the most complex challenges for fire-stopping activity — and working within a live, sensitive clinical environment requires meticulous planning, coordination, and respect for ongoing patient care. Throughout the project, our team ensured that all work areas were carefully controlled, communication remained clear with hospital staff, and disruption was kept to an absolute minimum.

Compliant Systems, Certified Delivery

Our specialists installed fully compliant fire-stopping systems around service penetrations, reinstated compartment lines, and applied appropriate fire-resisting materials designed to maintain the performance of each critical fire compartment. These measures are essential for controlling the spread of fire and smoke, protecting vulnerable patients, safeguarding staff, and supporting the hospital’s wider fire-safety strategy.

All works were executed in accordance with IFC-accredited procedures, ensuring rigorous adherence to industry best practice. We provided complete photographic evidence and robust QA documentation, giving the RD&E team full confidence in the quality and compliance of every installation.

This project highlights Vesta Sol’s capability to deliver safe, precise, and fully certified fire-stopping solutions within challenging healthcare environments.
