Compliance with project, standard and fire safety requirements
Why is fire protection required for a steel frame?
Steel is a strong and durable material, but when exposed to high temperatures it gradually loses its load-bearing capacity. During a fire, rapid heating of the frame elements may compromise the stability of the construction.
A designed fire protection system slows down the heating of the steel, helps maintain the stability of the structure and allows it to withstand the fire resistance time specified for the project.
Maintaining the stability of the construction
Slowing down the heating of the steel elements and maintaining the load-bearing capacity for the required time
Reducing the risk of collapse
Reducing the risk of rapid loss of skeletal strength during a fire
Allowing time for evacuation and rescue operations
Assisting in maintaining the building during the evacuation of residents and handling the incident
Meeting project requirements
Adapting the protection system to the design requirements, standards and approving authorities
From the planning stage to receiving approval
1
Checking the structure and requirements
Examination of the construction plans, steel elements and required fire resistance time
2
Adapting the shielding method
Choosing a system that is appropriate for the profiles, project conditions, and finishing requirements
3
Preparation of specifications and implementation details
Defining the system, the thicknesses and the required connection details
4
Carrying out the protection work
Implementation of the system through professional teams and in accordance with the approved details
5
Quality control and support
Checking surface preparation, protection thickness, continuity, and treatment of complex points.
6
Inspection and approval
Ordering a certified laboratory and preparing the documents to continue the approval process
How is the protection method chosen?
There is no single protection method that is suitable for every structure and every element. The choice is made after examining the types of profiles, the required fire resistance time, the construction requirements, the finishing requirements and the execution conditions on site
Engineering support and quality control
The quality of the shielding system depends on the detailed design, surface preparation, shielding thickness, system continuity, and application quality. After the work is completed, an external, certified laboratory is invited to test the shielding. The test documents are submitted as part of the approval process with the relevant authorities.
Common methods for protecting steel from fire
Color swells in heat
A dedicated paint system that swells when exposed to heat and creates an insulating layer around the steel element.
Dedicated shielding panels
Wrapping the beam or column with fire-resistant panels that create an insulated envelope.
Sprayed cementitious material
Applying a layer of insulating material to the steel in a thickness appropriate for the required durability time.
