Intumescent Fire-Resistive Materials for Structural Steel

At Shippy’s Rolling Plains Construction, we specialize in intumescent fire-resistive materials for commercial and industrial construction.

Our team applies protective coatings that help shield structural steel from extreme heat. In addition, these systems provide passive fire protection while preserving the appearance of exposed steel.

Since 1984, Rolling Plains Construction has supported major projects across the United States. As a result, our crews bring decades of fireproofing experience to demanding construction environments.

Innovative Technology & Proven Performance

Intumescent coatings expand when exposed to high temperatures. As a result, they form an insulating char layer that helps slow heat transfer to structural steel.

These materials play an important role in passive fire protection. Furthermore, they allow designers to preserve the appearance of exposed structural steel.

Over time, coating technology has continued to improve. Today, contractors can choose from several types of intumescent systems.

For example, available options include epoxy-based, water-based, and solvent-based coatings.

Each system offers different performance features. Therefore, material selection depends on the project design, exposure conditions, and required fire-resistance rating.

Rolling Plains Construction works with project teams to review these requirements and support proper coating application.

Precision Application & Time-Saving Solutions

Our team offers both shop-applied and field-applied intumescent fireproofing services.

For many projects, shop application can provide important scheduling benefits.

At our steel finishing facility, crews can apply protective coatings before structural steel arrives at the jobsite.

As a result, contractors may reduce the amount of coating work needed during active construction.

In addition, the controlled shop setting helps our team manage surface preparation, coating application, and inspection.

This process can also support steel delivery schedules and field installation.

However, project conditions and coating requirements determine whether shop application is the right choice.

Shop-Applied Intumescent Fireproofing

Rolling Plains Construction operates a large steel finishing facility in Arizona.

The facility supports structural steel surface preparation, protective coatings, and shop-applied fireproofing.

First, our crews review the specified coating system and surface preparation needs.

Next, the team prepares the steel and applies the approved fire-resistive material.

Afterward, quality control personnel review the application according to project requirements.

Finally, the coated steel can move through the required curing, handling, and shipping stages.

Together, these steps help coordinate coating work with the overall construction schedule.

Intumescent Fireproofing for Commercial & Industrial Projects

Rolling Plains Construction provides intumescent coating services for a wide range of construction projects.

For example, these systems may support:

• High-rise commercial buildings

• Industrial and manufacturing facilities

• Data centers and mission-critical buildings

• Airports and transportation facilities

• Healthcare and institutional buildings

• Projects featuring exposed architectural steel

Each project presents different conditions. Therefore, our team reviews material needs and approved fire protection requirements.

In addition, our crews coordinate with general contractors, steel fabricators, and project managers.
