Passive Fire Protection (PFP)

Fire-protection scope for industrial assets and structures

Passive fire protection is selected to help protect defined assets for a specified fire scenario and duration. The required performance depends on the project fire strategy, asset criticality, environmental exposure, substrate, product system and approval basis. ARS EXIM invites project enquiries for PFP work; no certification, product approval, fire rating or installation record is claimed on this page. Those details must be validated against the project specification.

Typical enquiry scope

  • Structural steel identified for fire protection in the project documents.
  • Pipe racks, equipment supports and steelwork within a defined protection boundary.
  • Vessel supports or other critical assets where the project fire strategy requires protection.
  • Interfaces, edges, connections and penetrations that need to be included in the scope.
  • Repair, reinstatement or maintenance areas where the existing system is documented.

What to include for review

Fire scenario and performance
State the design fire, required duration, section factors or governing project design information where provided.
Asset and substrate
Supply steel schedules, drawings, substrate condition, primer information and details of adjacent equipment.
Approved product system
Identify the manufacturer, product, tested configuration, finish and client approvals stated by the project.
Inspection and environment
Confirm surface-preparation criteria, application conditions, thickness checks, repair rules and required inspection records.

A practical project review

The steps below are a discussion framework. The actual sequence, responsibilities, technical submittals and handover requirements must be agreed with the client and relevant site representatives for each project.

  1. 01

    Review the enquiry

    Identify the requested discipline, asset, project type, country, schedule and the information already available.

  2. 02

    Align the documents

    Compare drawings, bills of quantities, specifications and site rules. List missing information and questions that affect scope.

  3. 03

    Define the work package

    Agree the work limits, interfaces, access assumptions, quantities, responsibilities and exclusions before commercial pricing.

  4. 04

    Plan site coordination

    Discuss permits, work fronts, operating constraints, materials approvals and the sequence required by the project team.

  5. 05

    Agree inspection and handover

    Confirm project-specific inspection points, records, acceptance criteria and handover documents in the enquiry or contract documents.

Technical basis

Materials, manufacturer systems, standards, design values, certifications, inspection criteria and acceptance records are not assumed on this page. Submit the client specification or tender documents so the applicable requirements can be identified before a proposal is prepared.

Common project questions

Can you recommend a fireproofing product?

A product should not be selected from a generic website description. It must match the project fire design, approved system, substrate, exposure and client acceptance requirements. Share the specification for assessment.

What should be included in an RFQ?

Include the asset list, drawings, fire scenario and duration, substrate and primer data, approved product system, quantities, site conditions and inspection requirements if available.

Do you provide a specific fire rating or certification?

No rating or certification is represented here. The required performance and acceptable evidence are project-specific and should be confirmed from approved design documents and product records.
