Bowsers were tasked with applying intumescent coatings to ten 18-metre-high structural steel components to enhance fire resistance. A team of three skilled Bowsers applicators performed surface preparation, priming and the application of a double-layer coating system. All work was completed to the highest standard, fully meeting fire rating requirements and all relevant safety regulations.
Large-scale industrial projects inherently present complex challenges and high risks. Bowsers excelled at delivering tailored solutions to meet the demands of this high-pressure environment. The team successfully navigated the tight 3-week project timeline and while ensuring strict adherence to fire safety compliance requirements.
Bowsers collaborated closely with Richard Crookes Constructions to integrate coating works into the broader construction schedule. Using specialised techniques and high-risk access equipment, the team optimised curing times and maintained regulatory compliance, without impacting the overall project timeline.
The project was delivered on time, within budget, and to a high standard of workmanship. Richard Crookes Constructions commended Bowsers for their seamless coordination, technical capability and commitment to quality further cementing their reputation as a trusted partner in passive fire protection solutions.
