We recently held a PFPNet Webinar focused on Passive Fire Protection in Road Tunnels. Both sessions were recorded and can be viewed via the links below: https://youtu.be/kuVPUAObMn4 https://youtu.be/CQX5ltF5VE4

The PFPNet 2024 Conference is being held on Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd October 2024 in Amsterdam.   Venue The venue is: Radisson Blu Hotel, Amsterdam City CenterRusland 17, 1012 CK, Amsterdam Timings  We will open registrations at 09.00 on Monday 21st October with sessions commencing at 10.00 and that we will close the event at 16.00 on Tuesday 22nd October. Agenda

PFPNet has been working towards developing guidelines for assessing the severity of age and damage on the effectiveness of all types of PFP systems.  Following two phases of scoping work, this project is to lead the development of qualitative guidance that allows a suitably qualified person to make a judgment on the severity of damage

Please join us at the upcoming PFPNet Webinar to learn more about Passive Fire Protection in Road Tunnels. An introduction will be given that includes the rationale behind using PFP in road tunnels, an overview of the available fire protection systems, the process from a to z – including fire testing – and more. The

The next ICorr/PFPNet Level 3 Inspector training course for epoxy passive fire protection will be held in Sheffield on 15th - 17th  July 2024. This Level 3 course is for Inspectors and Technicians who are looking to further their core competence to fully understand and inspect PFP installations in new construction or retrofit situations. This course trains

This document will improve the specification of cryogenic spill protection (CSP) by providing generic guidance on the hazards and risks associated with the storage and processing of LNG and other cryogenic fluids. It aims to promote use of the correct systems in the correct locations, by ensuring CSP is not overlooked at the early design

PFPNet has developed a short "fundamentals" guidance document that describes the minimum information required to be provided to a CSP system manufacturer that will allow them to specify the correct type and thickness of CSP required, based on the ISO 20088 test data.  Even slight changes in any of the fundamental variables that affect CSP

PFPNet is considering two “schemes” that are aimed at demonstrating competency: The qualification and training of individuals (Qualified Applicator).  Here, the qualification is based on an assessment of competency obtained by both classroom and practical training, and through experience. The qualification and registration of companies (Qualified Application Contractor).  A successful registration is by an audit

Our CSP workshop at the November ‘22 conference proposed two levels of guidance for Cryogenic Spill Protection:  A short “Fundamentals of CSP” document outlining the essential information needed to ensure that a CSP system is correctly supplied and fit-for-purpose, and an “advanced” guidance document, containing more technical details on scenarios, consequence modelling, response of structures

One of the 2023 project commitments from PFPNet is to start the development of the Guidance Books that will define the procedures for the testing, assessment, classification, specification and end use of passive fire protection (PFP) systems used in the hydrocarbon sector.  They will be applicable for all the types of PFP systems that are
