Our Fireproofing Solutions

Intumescent Coatings

We design and install high-performance systems that seal service penetrations in walls, floors, and ceilings preventing the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases. Using advanced intumescent technology, our seals expand under heat to create a robust fire-resistant barrier, ensuring continued compartmentation during a fire event.

Fire-Resistant Paint Systems

These decorative coatings offer built-in fire retardancy for walls, ceilings, and partitions, helping to slow the surface spread of flames. Often used alongside other passive fire protection measures, they provide an added layer of safety without compromising on aesthetics.

Vermiculite Cementitious Coatings

Vermiculite cementitious coatings are spray-applied, thick-film fire protection systems that resist extreme heat. Ideal for basements, service shafts, and parking areas, they help protect steel, concrete, and ductwork during a fire.

Where Our Expertise Applies

Tailored Fire Stopping Solutions Across Critical Industries

IPS’s fire stopping and protection services are crucial in many scenarios and industries:

Industrial Facilities

In factories, refineries, and power plants, we install certified firestop systems at pipe, cable, and duct penetrations to contain fires before they spread. We also apply intumescent coatings on structural steel in high-risk zones such as fuel storage areas or boiler rooms to help maintain structural integrity during a fire.

New Structures

In office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, and campuses, our fire stopping solutions seal service shafts, risers, duct gaps, and joints to prevent fire from moving between floors. We also apply fire-retardant coatings to structures to meet building safety requirements.

High-Risk Zones

Server rooms, laboratories, data centres, and storage facilities with flammable materials require additional fire protection. We install fire-rated compartments and protective coatings to help safeguard critical operations and equipment.

New Builds and Retrofits

We work with construction teams to install compliant fire stopping systems during new builds. For retrofits, we assess existing structures and upgrade fire protection systems as needed to meet current safety standards.

Maintenance and Inspections

Fire stopping systems require regular inspection and maintenance. We offer ongoing services to reseal new penetrations and check protective coatings to ensure continued compliance and performance.

In all these use cases, the goal is the same: limit a fire’s impact to the smallest area possible. By doing so, we protect lives, critical equipment, and the continuity of your operations.

Our Approach

Meticulous Installation Backed by Safety-First Standards

Our approach to fire stopping and protection combines technical know-how with meticulous workmanship:

Site Assessment

We begin by assessing your facility or construction plans to identify where fire stopping and fireproofing are needed. Our team evaluates all structural elements and works closely with your safety or building managers to develop a complete passive fire protection plan.

Certified Systems and Materials

We use trusted, certified fire stop systems matched to your building’s fire rating requirements. From sealants and pipe collars to firestop blocks and intumescent coatings, every material is selected for proven performance and proper application.

Professional Installation

Our trained technicians ensure every opening is properly prepared and sealed. We apply all materials to the correct specifications and coordinate with your team to minimise disruption, especially in operational facilities.

Inspection and Documentation

After installation, we inspect all protected areas and provide detailed documentation, including fire rating data and installation reports. This helps simplify future audits and supports regulatory compliance.

Ongoing Support

We offer continued support through routine inspections, maintenance, and updates after renovations or incidents. Our team is available to keep your fire protection system performing year after year.

We take fire stopping seriously, because lives depend on it. Our solutions are strong, reliable, and ready when needed.
