Ten years after launching its pioneering “Inspector” app, Siderise has unveiled the next generation of this digital tool. Named the “Siderise Inspection App,” it has been developed to help installers verify the quality of passive fire protection and acoustic installations whilst maintaining robust installation records and quality assurance documentation. The launch marks a significant step forward in the global manufacturer’s ongoing commitment to supporting the correct specification and installation of its passive fire safety and acoustic solutions and improving building safety worldwide.
Inspections are a critical part of ensuring passive fire protection and acoustic systems are installed correctly and are aligned with design intent. However, these elements are often concealed as construction progresses, making verification more challenging. The Siderise Inspection App enables users to document installations using mobile devices. Captured photographs and key project data are compiled into structured reports that are sent to be reviewed by Siderise’s technical team to confirm alignment with manufacturer installation recommendations. This approach helps identify potential issues early, reducing the risk of repeated installation errors and minimising the need for costly remedial work later in the project. It also provides project teams with a transparent record of installation quality as part of construction handover documentation, supporting greater accountability and confidence in completed work.

“Before developing the Siderise Inspection App, we undertook a comprehensive research programme to better understand the challenges our customers face on site every day,” explained Lee Nichols, Technical Director at Siderise Group. “Those insights have directly influenced its functionality, creating a truly unique tool that is not only easier to use in busy site environments, but also integrates seamlessly with wider project documentation and workflows.
“All interactions with Siderise through the new App now feed directly into our wider project management system, enabling us to generate comprehensive installation quality reports where required and identify customer-specific trends, such as recurring installation issues. This allows us to take a more proactive approach to support, whether through targeted training, additional site inspections or other interventions designed to improve installation quality.
“This holistic support makes it easier for installers of our products to demonstrate installation quality and maintain a clear record of works completed throughout the project lifecycle.”
Available to download for free from Google Play and Apple App Stores, the Siderise Inspection App is just one part of the comprehensive technical support offering that surrounds the manufacturers highly tested product ranges, including technical advice, in-person inspection services, product, application and installation training, benchmark installations and more.
