Specifying Intumescent Fire Protection for Structural Steel
This CPD gives an introduction to the passive fire protection of structural steel. It initially outlines the importance of providing adequate fire protection and the relevant legislation and standards. After examining different methodologies, the focus is on intumescent coatings, explaining how they work, the different types available, and how they are suited to different building types and environments. Finally the CPD looks at the method of application, the roll of the sub-contractor, and the factors that need to be taken into consideration to ensure that a project is completed successfully.
