PEACE OF MIND. EVERY TIME.

Every 65 seconds, a fire occurs in a structure somewhere in the nation. In 2019, fires caused roughly 3,700 civilian deaths, 16,600 civilian injuries, and $14.8 billion in property damage.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and other investigations have confirmed that lack of proper fire-stopping has contributed to numerous large-loss fires. Fire protection systems are thus mandated as a code requirement.

That’s why it is important to include firestop systems in any building design, right from the start of a project, as part of the life safety plan of structures. When installed correctly, firestop systems will help restore the rating of a floor or wall as it is penetrated by an object or joint and resist the spread of smoke and fire. This can save lives and contain damage to a building.

As builders, life safety is of the utmost importance to us. Our YFNY safety motto emblazoned on all of our employee-owner's helmets—Your Family Needs You—extends to your project, your people, and the communities in which we live and work.

Swinerton provides peace of mind that when we turn over a building to you, your facility is protected with carefully installed Hilti firestop systems by trained firestop experts so that building occupants are safe every day.
