In high rise residential and commercial buildings, the gas pipe shaft is a very important part that requires extremely strict fire protection. In case of gas leakage and fire accident, the fire separation wall around the shaft must prevent the flame from spreading to other floors and zones. Ceramsite Panel Expanded Clay Cement Panel is a very ideal material for building this fire protection wall. The more than 3 hours A level fire resistance performance of the Ceramsite Panel fully meets the national building fire code requirements for gas pipe shaft walls. The panel can effectively block the flame and high temperature, preventing the fire from spreading along the vertical shaft to different floors. This greatly improves the overall fire safety level of the whole high rise building. The ultra lightweight property of the Ceramsite Panel reduces the total dead load of all shaft walls by more than 70 percent compared with traditional brick shaft walls. This greatly reduces the vertical load that the high rise building core structure has to bear, saving a lot of structural steel and concrete cost. The dry installation process of the Ceramsite Panel is very suitable for high altitude high rise construction. The pre fabricated standard size panels are very easy to transport to different floors through the construction elevator. The construction workers can install the panels quickly without carrying a large amount of mortar to high floors. This greatly improves the construction efficiency of the shaft wall work. Many super high rise building projects completed in recent years have widely adopted Ceramsite Panel for their gas pipe shaft fire walls. All projects successfully passed the strict fire safety acceptance inspection.
