Industrial & Hydrocarbon Fireproofing

Industrial fireproofing for structural steel, equipment supports and critical interfaces using project-qualified intumescent, cementitious or board systems.

Technical scope

Design the fireproofing route around exposure, section and asset duty.

Industrial and hydrocarbon fire scenarios can impose more severe heat flux, durability and environmental demands than generic building exposure. The specified fire curve, critical temperature, section factor, primer, topcoat and service environment must be established before system selection.

Vortexen can support survey, design coordination, material and system submittals, surface preparation, application, repair, inspection and traceable close-out—subject to the exact manufacturer approval and project acceptance route.

Technical scope

Hydrocarbon and cellulosic fireproofing
Epoxy intumescent systems where specified
