Passive Fire Protection North Waikato & Hamilton
Passive fire installers for the Waikato corridor: Pokeno, Tuakau, Huntly, Ngaruawahia and Hamilton. Our largest project this year was the Anglesea Day Procedure clinic in Hamilton, around 700 fire stopped items, and the Cellora laboratory at Pokeno before that. New builds, fit-outs and BWOF remediation, with tested systems and PS3 documentation for Waikato councils.
Auckland specialists, regularly in the Waikato
The North Waikato is a natural extension of our South Auckland work. Pokeno and Tuakau are closer to us than the North Shore is, and Hamilton is a planned day trip we make often. The industrial and medical building happening along the corridor needs the same thing Auckland does: fire separations sealed with a tested system, tagged, photographed and certified with a PS3.
Recent Waikato work includes the Anglesea Day Procedure clinic fit-out in Hamilton for AHS Construction, the Cellora research and development laboratory at Pokeno, and the Franklin Day Surgery in Pukekohe on the Auckland side of the boundary. Two of those are healthcare buildings with a lot of services through fire-rated walls and floors, which is where an experienced passive fire crew earns its keep.
Travel to Pokeno and Tuakau is treated like South Auckland. Hamilton and further south carry a stated travel line, planned as full days so the visit is productive.

Consents and BWOF with Waikato councils
Hamilton City Council and Waikato District Council process consents through the Waikato Building Consent Group, and each runs BWOF and IQP registers for existing buildings. Our documentation is set up for both.
- 1
PS3 for Waikato consents
Producer statements and as-built documentation prepared in the Waikato Building Consent Group format used by Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils.
- 2
Fixing IQP defects
Send the IQP report for a Hamilton or Waikato building and we quote against the listed items, then fix them in one planned visit with the register and photos for the Form 12A.
- 3
Working with main contractors
On fit-outs we co-ordinate with the builder and fire engineer, agree hold points and install when the services are in, so the programme is not held up waiting for us.
- 4
Tested systems, matched to the detail
Ryanfire and other appraised systems selected for the actual substrate, service and rating, with the technical data sheet referenced on every job sheet.
- 5
Travel stated up front
Pokeno and Tuakau are priced like South Auckland. Hamilton carries one travel line per visit, stated in the quote.
- 6
Installer input at design stage
Our advisory service reviews Waikato drawings from an installer's perspective so fire stopping is allowed for and buildable before it reaches site.
