Intumescent Coating Application Biggleswade
Project Overview:
Our client in Biggleswade required a 60-minute fire protection system to be applied to a steel portal frame as part of a construction project. The coating specification needed to meet the required fire rating while ensuring compliance with the project's building and safety requirements. The client was looking for a specialist contractor who could manage the process from survey through to application, ensuring the correct system was specified and installed.
The Challenge of Intumescent Coating Application Biggleswade
Applying an intumescent coating system requires more than simply selecting a product and applying paint. The steelwork dimensions must be assessed, calculations completed, and the correct coating thickness specified to achieve the required fire rating.
Key challenges included:
- Achieving 60 minutes of fire protection
- Surveying and measuring the steel portal frame accurately
- Ensuring the coating specification met project requirements
- Providing a compliant and professionally applied system
Our Solution:
To ensure the correct fire protection system was specified, we followed a detailed process from survey through to completion.
- Steelwork Survey:
We carried out a full survey of the steel portal frame, recording the dimensions and details required for the fire protection calculations. - Specification & Calculations:
The survey information was submitted to our internationally recognised intumescent coating supplier, who calculated the required coating specification and film thickness to achieve 60 minutes of fire protection. - Professional Application:
The coating system was then applied by our manufacturer-trained technicians, ensuring the work was completed in accordance with the specification and industry best practice.
This process provided the client with a fully compliant fire protection system tailored to the project requirements.
