Fire break for cable through floor.

[micknew]

Have been asked to install a feed to a socket on the floor of a night club.
The problem is the property below is a restaurant (not owned by the club) so some sort of fire break will have to be formed for safety and insurance purposes.
The 4mm T&E cable will run in the false ceiling of the restaurant and go through the dancefloor to a socket.
Never had to do this before, what would be the best product to achieve the fire break?

if it was me i'd keep the run in the niteclub premises

In this case the run is very difficult. No suggestions for a suitable solution?

Bit of a naughty one this proposition for my liking

Leaving aside whether its against any regulations,the implications for the insurance of the other premises would be in question as far as I would expect,whether the entry and exit holes are made good or no

What if the cable was overloaded and a fire was started in the below premises,what action is the insurance of the other building going to take

How can periodic inspections be made, if part of the installation has done a tour of other local buildings/premises etc

 

[davelerave]

that's what i had in mind also

the physical separation of the final circuits in each installation

Indeed a strange set-up this one!! Where is the the night clubs DB/CU located, is that also located on the level below the night club??

If it is, then the whole installation for this type of business use, may not comply with the current appropriate regulations...If not then why are you taking this route to supply a socket outlet??

 

[micknew]

The night club DB/CU's are within the night club premises.
The reason we wanted to run within the restaurants ceiling was to gain access to the centre of the dance floor.
Have advised client of the insurance/fire safety implications and have told them to re-think their layout plans.
Thanks all for comments given.

Im intregued as to what this sockets for?

And will it get damaged by a drunken raver?!

perhaps it's to keep the pole dancer awake.

Is the other thread about an industrial vibrator a coincidence?!
