Off-site intumescent
spray coatings.
Structural steel protection, planned around your project. Bring the main coating operation off site and coordinate the finish, delivery and site interfaces from the outset.
Controlled application. Coordinated delivery.

Fire protection
for the steel frame.
Intumescent coating is a thin-film fire protection for structural steel, spray applied to an agreed build-up.
In a fire, the coating expands into a thick, insulating char. The char slows the rise in steel temperature and helps the frame keep its load-bearing capacity for the fire resistance period the design requires.
Off site, the main coating goes on before the steel reaches site. On site, what remains is the agreed touch-ups after erection.
Less site disruption.
Better coordination.
Coordinate the coating operation with the wider steelwork programme.
- 01
Controlled conditions
Manage the application environment to suit the selected coating system, with less reliance on site weather.
- 02
Programme support
Coordinate coating with fabrication, curing and phased steelwork deliveries.
- 03
Cleaner site operations
Reduce on-site overspray and interfaces with other trades by moving the main spraying off site.
Early coordination helps reduce avoidable disruption and rework.
Aligned with your
project requirements.
A coordinated process, from the first drawings to the final touch-up.
- 01
Define the scope
Review drawings, steel schedules, fire resistance requirements and the proposed specification.
- 02
Confirm the system
Agree the coating build-up, application requirements and project responsibilities.
- 03
Coat off site
Apply the coating to the agreed requirements, away from site weather and other trades.
- 04
Deliver to programme
Coordinate curing, handling and delivery to suit the steel programme. Review connections and any damage.
- 05
Complete on site
Complete the agreed site touch-ups and final checks once the steel is erected.
