Safety & Protection

Fire Protection

Fireproof Wraps & Barriers

Passive fire protection for flanged connections, valves, and piping: fire-rated wrap systems, intumescent coatings, ceramic fibre blankets, and fire-resistant enclosures. All tested to hydrocarbon fire standards. We usually start from your fire safety assessment or HAZOP. Without that, there's no reliable way to confirm the rating requirement.

Types & Variants

Fire-Rated Wraps

Multi-layer wrapping systems for flanges, valves, and pipe supports. Tested to hydrocarbon fire curves (H-rated).

Intumescent Coatings

Coatings that expand when exposed to fire, forming an insulating char layer over steel surfaces.

Ceramic Fibre Products

High-temperature blankets and boards for fire barriers, gaskets, and equipment insulation classified to 1260 °C (continuous use ~1000 °C; AES low-biopersistent grades available).

Fire-Resistant Enclosures

Pre-fabricated enclosures for valves and actuators providing fire protection for a rated duration.

Common Applications

Oil & Gas Facilities

Flange and valve protection on hydrocarbon-carrying piping as required by fire safety assessments.

LNG & Gas Processing

Fire protection on cryogenic piping, equipment skids, and pipe supports in gas processing plants.

Structural Fire Protection

Protecting pipe supports and structural steelwork that must maintain integrity during a fire event.

Materials & Standards

Standards

  • AS 1530.4: Fire resistance test of elements of building construction
  • UL 1709: Rapid rise fire tests of protection materials
  • ISO 22899-1: Jet fire testing
