Intumescent Coating of Metal Beams for the Queensferry Crossing Bridge

Intumescent Coating of Metal Beams for the Queensferry Crossing Bridge

We had the opportunity to showcase our skills by applying a special fire-resistant coating using an airless sprayer designed for thick protective paints. It was a very demanding project—not only because there was no easy access to the upper parts of the beams, which were located just below the ceiling, requiring us to literally crawl underneath—but also because we had to carry out precise measurements layer by layer as the paint was applied.

The surface of the beams also had to be specially prepared with dedicated chemical treatments. Maintaining the correct temperature and humidity was crucial, so we used additional heaters to ensure optimal conditions. It was an interesting but challenging project—yet for us, it was no problem. There’s no such thing as impossible.
