Project Spotlight: Canterbury Health Project

On a major commercial healthcare development in Canterbury, Potter Interior Systems was selected as the primary supplier of passive fire solutions. The project required a system that could handle complex service penetrations across multiple zones, including risers, plant rooms, and data areas.

The BOSS FyreBox Multi-Service Transit was chosen for its ability to consolidate multiple services — electrical, plumbing, HVAC — into a single fire-rated enclosure. This streamlined installation, reduced coordination issues between trades, and ensured consistent compliance with NZBC Clause C fire protection requirements.

NZBC compliance made simple

BOSS Passive Fire systems are tested to AS 1530.4 and AS/NZS 4072.1 standards and meet key NZBC fire protection clauses:

• C3.5: Preventing fire and smoke spread through service penetrations
• C3.7: Maintaining the integrity of fire separations
• C4.3: Supporting safe evacuation routes

Each product is backed by comprehensive test data, installation manuals, and compliance documentation — making it easy for architects, contractors, and building inspectors to verify performance.

Designed for commercial efficiency

The BOSS FyreBox offers:

• Up to 2-hour fire rating (FRL -/120/120) without thermal wraps
• Acoustic rating of Rw50, supporting BCA compliance for multi-use buildings. 
• BrushSeal technology for future-proofing — allowing services to be added or changed without compromising fire integrity
• Simplified maintenance with AS1851 inspection compatibility

This modular, pre-assembled system reduces onsite labour and installation errors.
