In the event of a fire, structural steel used in many large buildings will soften due to the heat and therefore no longer be able to bear the heavy weight of the structure. This has the potential to be disastrous, so we at Prime Passive Fire Protection Ltd are on hand to install structural boarding and encasements to shelter your steel work and strength your fire defences.
The structural boarding we can install will shield your steel structure and therefore give it protection should a fire happen. The additional hours of protection that our encasements provide can not only help to save the lives of anyone working in your building when there’s a fire, but also mean that the building can be repaired and reused again, rather than needing to be demolished.
This therefore makes the investment in structural boarding a sound one from a safety sense but also from a financial one too.
