Ensuring

Safety

In the construction industry, jobsite safety

is a crucial aspect that directly impacts the

well-being of workers and the overall

success of projects.

Indian construction

workforce constitutes

7.5 percent of the global

workforce, but accounts

for 16.5 percent of the

fatal global occupational

accidents.

At Hilti, ensuring safety is our foremost

mission. We go above and beyond to foster

a safety-oriented culture by providing a

variety of workshops, training programs,

and awareness campaigns. These initiatives

aim to educate end users, organizations,

and industry bodies about the importance

of implementing industry-approved safety

practices. We firmly believe that by arming

individuals with the requisite knowledge and

skills to prioritize safety, we can effectively

prevent accidents and foster a more secure

building environment for everyone. Our

dedication to professionalism and our

commitment to enhancing building and jobsite

safety distinguish us within the industry.

The ABIL Team has been immensely impressed

with Hilti’s exceptional knowledge and unwavering

assistance in helping us understand tested

firestop system solutions. Furthermore, we

commend the team for their dedication to

education. They have gone above and beyond in

educating our entire department through multiple

presentations and site mock-ups.

How our solution helped

optimize the application

for one of our customer.

Name of the project: ABIL

Avaanti Residences, Pune

Problem faced by the customer:

Our team of experts identified several challenges

faced by customer, including using conventional

and non-tested systems, budgeting, low

confidence in firestopping application, lack of

awareness on codes and standards, and the need

for relevant safety and documentation compliances. This was

due to the weak regulatory compliances where fire NOC could

have been achieved with basic application of firestop mortar

and in some cases even the installation of checkered plate.

But the building would have remained unsafe to the end users

including construction workers because of the

above-mentioned challenges.

Hilti’s expert solution that aided safety:

Our team conducted a thorough ON!Site Survey and

proposed customized firestopping solutions aligned with

UL Testing standards. To showcase the effectiveness of

our approach, we conducted mock-ups at the jobsite for

each service shaft, including electrical, plumbing, and fire-

fighting shafts. These mock-ups demonstrated the successful

implementation of solutions, as per the UL System Certificate,

while also highlighting the value of proper documentation

compliances through our ON!Site Documentation service

based on Hilti cloud based CFS-DM Software.

Recognizing the presence of non-standard openings at the

site, we established the need for our Engineering Judgement

service. This service ensured that even unique openings

receive the appropriate firestopping solutions. Additionally,

our ON!Site Documentation service, based on NBC E7 clause,

streamlines the inspection process during NOC and fire safety

audits, making it faster and more efficient.

In line with our philosophy of only providing Tested

Firestop Systems we didn’t settle for short term

insignificant gains with Non-Tested Firestop System for one

of our customers' projects. We took the painstaking path of

again explaining the customer the perils of using a non-tested

system and we were successful in elevating the customer to

Tested Firestop Systems for one of their Residential Project.

We elevated the customers thinking not only did we speak

about tested fire stop system but we also created a good

platform for further elevation by getting the customer to

understand and appreciate the importance of Engineering

Judgement Documents, ON!Site Service and 100% Tested

System Solutions.
