Spokes Energy applies project-specific passive fire protection — intumescent and cementitious fireproofing — to keep structural steel stable in a fire for the rating period your project requires. Any site-specific qualification can be obtained based on project requirements.

Why passive fire protection

Unprotected steel loses its strength quickly when heated. Fireproofing keeps the steel below its critical temperature for a defined time, protecting the structure and giving people time to evacuate safely.

Systems we apply

Thin-film intumescent coatings that expand when heated to form an insulating char, for a clean painted finish on visible steelwork
Cementitious fireproofing for heavy structural members, pipe racks and areas where robustness and economy matter
Compatible primers, and sealer or top coats where the system requires them

How we work

Application to the fire rating, system and thickness specified by the project and the coating manufacturer
Correct surface preparation and primer before the fireproofing is applied
Thickness checks and records at every stage
Procedure trials and site-specific qualification on request
