The application of protective coatings to improve resistance to fire for structural steel is a growing demand due to urban expansion. The proximity of buildings requires many contractors to take advantage of fireproofing to offer the most time for emergency services to take control over the situation to prevent the spread of fire or building collapse.
Blastco’s fireproofing service begins with an examination of the site to determine if the material and conditions are suitable for successful coating application. If the site is satisfactory, Blastco's in-field abrasive blasting and coatings team will begin to prepare the surfaces for coating application. Next, the fire-retardant coating will be applied to the required specification and tested to ensure successful application.
Fireproofing is a protective coating that can be applied to a steel structure with the purpose of improving its resistance to fire for a calculated duration of time. With more time, there is a better opportunity for people to escape safely and for emergency personnel to contain the fire and limit damage.
