Structural Steel Fire Protection Boards, Intumescent Coatings and Wet Spray Inspection
Structural Steel Fire Protection Boards, Intumescent Coatings and Wet Spray Inspection
Structural steel fire protection boards, intumescent coatings and wet spray are different methods with which structural steel can be protected from fire, limiting heat transfer.
Why are structural steel fire protection boards, intumescent coatings and wet spray important?
Structural steel fire protection boards, intumescent coatings and wet spray are vital in the protection of structural steel members from the effects of fire maintaining the integrity, therefore limiting the likelihood of the structural collapse of a building in the event of fire.
What is covered in our structural steel fire protection boards, intumescent coatings and wet spray inspections?
During a structural steel fire protection boards, intumescent coatings and wet spray inspection our technicians inspect the systems including:
Whether the coating covers the entirety of the structural steel framework
Whether the tops are capped of correctly
Trapezoidal infills
Are gaps between protected sections sealed suitably
Visual inspection of the coating
Thickness criterion
Dry film thickness measurements
Wet film thickness measurements
Appropriate material installed for the environment
Primer installed
Preparation of steel for primer
Is the primer compatible with the basecoat
Is the system complete
Hp/A values for steel members
Applied thickness checks
Coating adhesion test
Whether intersection of different types of protection is correct
Condition of the wallboard, joints and any associated construction
Type of wallboard
Board thickness
Method of installation
Correct centres for fixings
Adequate length of fixings
