Fire Proofing Service

Protecting Structures Against the Devastating Effects of Fire

Fireproofing is a critical passive fire protection measure that safeguards structural steel and other building elements from the damaging effects of high temperatures during a fire event. By delaying heat transfer and maintaining structural integrity for a defined period, fireproofing systems provide essential time for safe evacuation and effective firefighting operations.

What is Fireproofing?

Structural steel loses approximately 50% of its load-bearing capacity when temperatures reach around 550°C — a condition that can occur within minutes in a fire. Fireproofing involves applying fire-resistant materials to steel members to delay this temperature rise, ensuring the structure remains standing for a specified fire resistance period (typically 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes).

Key Benefits

• Delays structural failure during fire events
• Provides critical time for safe evacuation of personnel
• Complies with international fire safety standards and building codes
• Reduces insurance premiums and liability
• Protects high-value industrial assets and equipment
• Available in various systems to suit architectural and functional requirements

Applications

• Oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and LNG facilities
• Power generation plants and substations
• Commercial high-rise buildings and shopping complexes
• Offshore platforms and process modules
• Industrial warehouses and manufacturing facilities

Our Approach

A thorough assessment of the structure is conducted to determine the required fire resistance rating. The appropriate fireproofing system — intumescent, cementitious, or board-based — is then selected and applied by trained and certified applicators in strict accordance with manufacturer guidelines and project specifications.
