1 Grenfell Tower: Lessons learned in Australia Kristin Brookfield Chief Executive Industry Policy
2 The Building 24 storey residential apartment building Public (social) housing Constructed in flats with approx. 350 residents on the night
3 The Fire June Faulty fridge/freezer caught fire inside an apartment on level 4 Fire moved to external walls and engulfed building from level 2 to 24 Up to 100 people died
4 The Retrofit Renovated in million Façade altered: insulation & aluminum cladding applied to existing concrete panels and windows replaced
5 What went wrong? Single internal fire stair No sprinkler system (not required in 1974; mandatory since 2007) Poor emergency lighting & smoke alarm system Zinc cladding (approved) substituted with PE core aluminum cladding
6 What went wrong? Insulation & PE cladding not fire tested Created a chimney effect spreading fire up the height of the building Stay policy - Residents were told to remain in their units
7 Meanwhile a few years earlier in Australia
8 The Lacrosse fire
9 The Lacrosse Private residential apartment building Built in 2012 Over 25 metres in height: Building Code of Australia required non-combustible cladding/external walls two fire stairs; internal sprinklers; occupant warning system (detectors, alarms, sprinklers)
10 What went wrong? 25 November 2014: Fire on balcony (plastic container) spread to external wall which then spread up wall to top level PE core ACP wall cladding used on part of wall Product substitution (assumed) & incorrectly installed of incorrect product
11 What went right? Fire did not spread into the apartments or adjoining apartments Sprinklers worked beyond capacity Alarms operated Fire stairs were partially blocked No lives lost over 450 people safely evacuated
12 Victorian Government response April 2015 Metropolitan Fire Brigade incident report released Triggers audit of 170 high rise apartment buildings in the City of Melbourne (completed February 2016) 51% non-compliance (plans & built form) Only 1 other building deemed a significant risk for occupants due to cladding
13 Victorian Audit findings To date no clear reasons for the wrong cladding to have been used Designer Building certifier design stage; construction stage Builder Regardless of the fault, the problem appears to be use of a non-compliant product not a nonconforming product
14 Non-Complying vs Non-Conforming Non-Complying Products (People & Process: Lacrosse & Grenfell Tower) The right product used the wrong way The wrong product used the wrong way Product substitution Non-Conforming Products (Products on sale: Infinity Electrical Cable recall) A product that does not meet relevant design standards (Building codes/standards) A product that does not do what it is supposed to A product that is a fake or counterfeit copy (IP infringed) A product with fake or incorrect certification documents
15 Australia s response to Grenfell Prime Minister wrote to all states requesting a building audit (currently underway) Federal and state building ministers agreed to: Appoint a national expert to investigate the building certification system in Australia (non-compliance) Amend the Building Code of Australia in 2018 (noncompliance) Publish a Handbook to help builders and building certifiers understand product testing and product certification (nonconforming)
16 National Expert Inquiry Assessment of the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement systems for the building and construction industry in Australia Compliance systems - the legislated processes in each state to ensure that buildings are designed and constructed to comply with the building code Enforcement systems the legislated processes in each state that allow a regulator to detect and remedy a non-compliance with the building code Initial report by end 2018; full report TBC
17 Changes to the Building Code of Australia Commences March 2018 New Evidence of Suitability requirements (Part A2) Upgraded Fire Safety requirements (Part C) New definition of non-combustible materials New definitions for wall & attachment New Handbook to guide interpretation of product certification
