Safeguarding KEZAD Light Industrial Units Phase 2 Fireproofing
Cementitious fireproofing offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting steel structures from fire damage. Made from Portland cement or gypsum, these materials are mixed with water and spray-applied to form a thick, non-combustible barrier. This insulates the steel, delaying the transfer of heat and maintaining structural integrity during a fire. Cementitious fireproofing is known for its:
Ibtikar Fire Proofing has completed the fireproofing scope on Phase 2 of the KEZAD Light Industrial Units in Abu Dhabi, spray-applying Carboline Pyrolite 15 cementitious protection to the steel structure to meet a 2-hour fire rating.
Project Details
- Project Name: KEZAD Light Industrial Units, Phase 2
- Fireproof Material: Carboline Pyrolite 15
- Fireproof Type: Cementitious
- Project Location: Abu Dhabi
- Applied On: Steel Structure
- Fire Rated Requirement: 2 Hours
Pyrolite 15 : Exceptional Fire Protection
Pyrolite 15 is a high-performance cementitious spray applied fireproofing material. It offers superior fire protection by creating a thick, non-combustible layer that insulates steel structures in the event of a fire. This delays the rise in temperature, allowing occupants valuable time to evacuate and preventing structural collapse. Pyrolite 15 boasts excellent adhesion properties, ensuring a long-lasting and durable fireproofing solution. Additionally, its lightweight composition minimizes the load on the structure.
Ibtikar’s Commitment to Fire Safety
Ibtikar’s expertise in fireproofing was instrumental in the successful completion of Phase 2 of the KEZAD Light Industrial Units project. Our team utilized a meticulous spray application process to ensure even and complete coverage of the steel structures with Pyrolite 15. Our fireproofing specialists possess in-depth knowledge of local building codes and fire safety regulations, guaranteeing compliance with the project’s 2-hour fire rating requirement across all treated steelwork.
- What are the different types of fireproofing materials available?
Besides cementitious fireproofing, there are other options like intumescent coatings and sprayed mineral fiber. Each has its advantages and applications depending on the project’s needs.
- How can I choose the right fireproofing material for my building?
Choosing the right fireproofing material involves factors like building code requirements, desired fire rating, structure type, and budget. Consulting a fireproofing professional can help you make the best decision.
