One of the potential risks that was identified by Sarawak Energy Berhad were the cable penetrations whereby it may become an open point for a fire propagating to the control room, which could possibly lead to a greater loss and may pose risk to personnel. The other possible risk that was identified is the passage of the smoke through unsealed openings. The loss caused by the spread of fire damages can be minimized when effective compartmentation is incorporated into a building’s design. Therefore, CharCoat penetration seals were chosen for their effectiveness and approval status.
