The works formed part of a new internal build at Procter & Gamble’s Tilbury facility, supporting the installation of a control room and associated plant infrastructure.
The accepted project information identified a 60-minute fire-resistance requirement for the relevant structural steel.
The facility remained operational while the work was carried out. Access, segregation and coating activities therefore had to be coordinated with production schedules, permit-to-work arrangements and the site’s operational restrictions.
Our scope covered local preparation to the pre-primed steel, application of the specified intumescent coatings and installation of the decorative finish.
The package included columns, beams, cellular beams and bracing associated with the new internal structure.
The steelwork had been primed before our arrival. We carried out light mechanical preparation where required, then applied the specified Thermoguard Thermocoat WI and WO products by airless spray to the relevant members.
A decorative topcoat completed the visible coating build-up.
The works were completed within the facility’s permit-to-work and segregation arrangements, with the application programme coordinated around the agreed site working windows.
The coating package was completed over six days and coordinated around the live manufacturing environment.
This allowed the wider control-room and plant installation to progress while meeting the project’s agreed working arrangements.
The photographs show the pre-primed steel before application, the coating process and the completed finish across the new internal structure.
Send us the project specification, steel schedule and access constraints. We can review the information and plan an on-site preparation and application approach around your operational requirements.
