When exposed to extreme heat, steel loses its structural integrity rapidly, potentially leading to catastrophic collapse. This weakness necessitates robust fire protection measures to ensure building safety and occupant survival.
At Promat, our expertise goes beyond standard regulations, addressing complex design challenges that conventional fire standards often overlook. With decades of experience in prescriptive and performance-based protection models, we offer architects and engineers peace of mind that buildings can maintain structural integrity in the event of a fire.
Our approach combines innovative materials, advanced testing, and sophisticated modelling techniques. This enables us to deliver tailored fire protection for even the most complex steel structures.
Enhance your knowledge and stay up to date with our comprehensive CPD course on fire protection for structural steel.
Our comprehensive guide contains everything you need to know, to specify compliant and effective protection for structural steel.
Understand the expert support we can offer you, including help with regulations and testing, sustainability and accurate specification.
The First Way Campus project used modern methods of construction, slotting prefabricated room pods into a structural steel skeleton that needed up to 120 minutes of fire resistance. Speed was a critical factor, with a compressed build timetable.
Our guide explains the solutions to common challenges faced by architects when specifying passive fire protection for structural steel. It covers specifying compliant solutions in situations that fall outside of testing standards, and other complexities, helping you design in fire protection with complete confidence.
