Industrial Fireproofing
Passive fire protection that buys critical time when it matters most.
Structural steel loses load-bearing capacity quickly under fire. Passive fireproofing systems — intumescent and cementitious — slow that process, giving operators time to respond and emergency crews time to act. We apply manufacturer-approved systems on structural steel, vessels and process pipework, with full thickness verification and quality records. Fireproofing is normally specified together with industrial lining and coating so the primer, fire-rated build-up and topcoat all sit inside one inspection package.

For hydrocarbon-rated structural steel in splash zones or high-temperature service, fireproofing is sometimes paired with Thermal Metal Spray (TSA) as the underlying long-life corrosion layer. All access — from inspection platforms to full encapsulation — is provided by our in-house scaffolding and rope-access crews, and our HP/UHP water jetting teams handle the surface preparation before any system is built up.
