Rapid Access Composite® Passive Fire Protection System

The Rapid Access Composite is the latest generation Passive Fire Protection System. A technologically advanced structural fire protection system developed and deployed worldwide by CBG Systems.

The lightweight Rapid Access Composite System reduces the vessel's lifetime operating costs by delivering key advantages to naval architects, vessel owners and operators:

Improved Profitability

Lightweight: up to 70% lighter than conventional metal clad systems. Installed weight is approximately 5 kg/ sq.m  or 1 lb/ sq.ft

Improved Vessel Performance: weight saved translates into lighter vessel displacement, improved performance and fuel economy and reduced carbon emissions.

Cost Saving

Ease of Installation: fast initial installation typically 1 hour per square metre

Ease of Maintenance: fast panel removal in less than 5 minutes

Versatile: support structure and paneling can be installed much later in the vessel build program with marginal interference to other services

Effective Elimination of Corrosion: support structure and cover strips are manufactured from 316 steel. Exposed panel surfaces are non metallic thus not subject to corrosion

Premium Safety

Structural Fire Protection provides the last line of defence against the spread of fire, saving lives and property.

The Rapid Access Composite System is:

Robust: panels can deflect under load, and are resistant to minor impact damage

Provides Immediate Access: in service removal of panel in 3-5 minutes allows fast access to shadowed services

Safety in Service: unlike metal clad systems  the Rapid Access Composite System has external insulation. Any damage or deterioration is readily identifiable and correctable without requirement for special tools.
