As one of the biggest high schools in The Hills Shire, Oakhill College caters to over 1700 students and commenced a major upgrade starting back in 2019. Bowsers was engaged to fire rate the structural steel supporting a central bespoke glass lift within the school’s newly constructed building block.

Bowsers applied Intumescent Coatings to the structural steel ensuring a superior finish.
As the school wanted the lift structure to be a hero piece, showcasing the mechanics to its students, the structural steel exposed behind protective glass needed to be aesthetically pleasing. Given the sensitivities of a live and operating school environment, it was critical Bowsers’ applicators, and the materials handling did not impede the daily activities of the students and staff.
Extra effort went into preplanning and ensuring accurate and precise product application, resulting in a premium, commercial grade finish. Bowsers’ experience in a variety of different intumescent coating options ensured the final finish was unrivaled. With years of experience, Bowsers has accrued a vast array of knowledge across many Intumescent Coating products, aiding in a superior application process and premium finish. By working closely with the client and adopting strong communication, the school incurred minimal disruption.
Bowsers’ extensive experience with sensitive education facilities which needed to remain operational resulted in the successful fire rating of the structural steel. The client was thrilled by the quality high-grade finish, which accentuates the overall design.
