Quality Control
Ensuring Precision, Compliance, and Lasting Performance
Upholding the Highest Standards of Excellence
At Shippy’s Rolling Plains Construction, quality is a key part of every project.
Our fireproofing quality control team focuses on proper installation, reliable testing, and clear project records.
Since 1984, Rolling Plains Construction has provided specialized construction services across the United States. As a result, our team brings decades of experience to demanding projects.
We believe strong quality practices start with careful planning. Therefore, our crews follow approved plans, material guidelines, and project requirements.
Above all, our goal is to provide dependable work that meets the required standards.
Experienced Quality Control Engineers
Our Quality Control Engineers bring technical knowledge and training to each project.
Their experience includes important building codes, industry manuals, and testing standards.
For example, our team works with:
-
International Building Code (IBC)
-
AWCI 12-A and 12-B manuals
-
NFCA 100–400 manuals
-
State and local building codes
-
UL-tested fire-resistance designs
-
ASTM fireproofing and coating standards
In addition, several RPC engineers hold training or qualifications related to Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA-1).
These standards help our team understand material requirements and proper testing methods.
Furthermore, our engineers work with project leaders to review quality needs and support required inspections.
Structural Steel & Fireproofing Inspections
Our fireproofing quality control process includes checks at different stages of construction.
First, our team reviews structural steel surfaces before material application.
Next, technicians check the required preparation and coating conditions.
During installation, our crews follow approved procedures and project plans.
Afterward, quality personnel review the work and support required testing.
This process helps our team identify issues and address them according to project requirements.
Fireproofing Testing & Quality Standards
Rolling Plains Construction uses several industry testing methods to help check fireproofing and coating work.
Our published quality control procedures include:
Primer Adhesion Testing
ASTM D3359: This test evaluates coating adhesion using a tape test method.
ASTM D4541: This method measures coating adhesion through a pull-off test.
Fireproofing Thickness & Density Testing
ASTM E605: This standard covers thickness and density testing for certain spray-applied fire-resistive materials.
In addition, our team reviews required material thicknesses against the approved fire-resistance design.
Fireproofing Adhesion & Cohesion Testing
ASTM E736: This test helps evaluate the bond strength of spray-applied fire-resistive materials.
As a result, project teams can use test results to assess specified material performance requirements.
Fire-Resistance Testing Standards
ASTM E119: This standard outlines methods for testing the fire resistance of building assemblies.
Our team uses applicable tested designs to guide material selection and installation requirements.
Third-Party Inspections & Project Documentation
Quality control also requires careful recordkeeping.
Therefore, our team coordinates with qualified third-party inspectors when projects require independent testing.
In addition, we maintain records that support required project reviews.
These records may include material information, inspection results, and testing documentation.
Clear records help contractors and project stakeholders review the completed work.
Our Commitment to Quality & Safety
Rolling Plains Construction takes pride in delivering quality fireproofing and specialty construction services.
Our team understands that each project has different technical needs.
For this reason, we focus on clear communication, proper testing, and careful installation.
In addition, we work with contractors and project leaders to address quality requirements throughout construction.
Most importantly, our goal is to support reliable work and long-term building performance.
