Bowsers assisted in conceptualising the design and liaising with the product supplier, Promat, on behalf of the client to ensure a compliant solution was provided. Bowsers supplied the supervision, labour, fixings and access equipment required to install the fire rated board system.
The fire walls required a 4 hour fire resistance level (-/240/240 FRL) which meant a very specialised wall system was required. The wall systems were located at the crown of the road tunnels and were over 10m above the roadway so safe access was critical for the installers.
Good work practices were essential. Innovative materials handling procedures were required to ensure the job could be done in a safe and timely fashion.
Five walls were clad with 2 layers of Promatect® 100 board to each side within the 3 week program. The client was extremely happy with Bowsers’ ability to meet the timeline and the performance requirements of the walls.
