Spray-on fireproofing is considered passive protection against severe structural damage in the event of a fire.  As such, it is critical that the proper materials and applications are used in order to ensure that it functions properly if it is ever called upon to do its job.  As consultants we ensure that the proper materials, accessories, and thicknesses are specified for both new construction and re-spray after abatement.  As inspectors, we check for proper thickness, density, and bond strength in accordance with ASTM and AWCI procedures.  When there are fireproofing failures, we are routinely called on to determine the possible cause or causes and to recommend workable solutions.  We are experienced with virtually all manufacturers and types of fireproofing including cementitious, fberous, intumescent, and board type materials.  We also have extensive expertise in sprayed acoustic material installations as well.
