Science and Technology Construction Projects & Specialty Services
Shippy’s Rolling Plains Construction supports science and technology construction projects through fireproofing, structural steel protection, insulation, and specialty construction services.
Since 1984, our company has worked on major commercial and industrial projects throughout the United States. Over time, our experience has grown to include advanced technology and manufacturing facilities.
Science and technology buildings often have unique construction needs. For example, semiconductor plants may require large structural systems, complex equipment areas, and detailed building plans.
In addition, these projects often involve strict schedules and close coordination between construction teams.
Rolling Plains Construction works with general contractors, developers, and project managers to support these demands. Above all, our teams focus on safety, quality, and dependable service.
Specialty Construction Services for Science & Technology Facilities
Advanced technology facilities often require several types of specialty construction work. Therefore, Rolling Plains Construction provides services that support complex building needs.
Our company-wide capabilities include:
-
Cementitious Fireproofing: Spray-applied fire-resistive materials that help protect structural steel during fire exposure.
-
Intumescent Fireproofing: Protective coatings that provide passive fire protection for specified structural steel systems.
-
Structural Steel Blasting & Coating: Surface preparation and protective coating services for steel components.
-
Firestopping: Systems that help maintain fire-resistance ratings in approved walls, floors, joints, and penetrations.
-
Thermal & Acoustical Insulation: Materials that help manage heat transfer and sound.
-
Fire Board Applications: Fire-resistant board systems for approved building assemblies.
-
Lightweight Insulating Concrete: Roofing systems that can support insulation and drainage through affiliated operations.
-
Specialty Construction Services: Additional solutions for projects with unique building requirements.
Each facility has its own design requirements. Therefore, our team reviews the approved plans and project scope before beginning work.
Furthermore, we coordinate with other trades to support installation schedules and safe jobsite operations.

Supporting Complex Technology Construction
Science and technology projects often require close coordination between several construction trades.
For example, semiconductor facilities may include complex steel structures, mechanical systems, and specialized production areas.
Meanwhile, research and technology buildings can have different environmental and building performance needs.
Because these projects involve detailed plans, communication is essential.
Rolling Plains Construction coordinates with project leaders to support approved construction requirements.
In addition, our crews focus on quality installation and safe work practices.

Structural Fire Protection for Advanced Facilities
Fire protection plays an important role in science and technology construction.
For example, structural steel may require spray-applied fireproofing or intumescent coatings under the approved building design.
Similarly, fire-rated walls and floors may require firestopping around pipes, cables, ducts, and other openings.
Protective steel coatings can also help address specific exposure conditions.
In addition, thermal and acoustical insulation may support building performance.
Therefore, contractors must use materials and systems that meet each project’s approved requirements.
