Division 1 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.
1.2 SUMMARY
A. Section includes:
1.3 REFERENCES
A. All reference to standards, regulations and requirements of statutory bodies shall mean the
latest published editions at the time of contract. Product manufacture, testing and installation
shall comply with the following references unless otherwise stated in the specification or
otherwise approved.
A. System includes one hour and two hour fire-rated protection for structural steel members as
indicated.
A. In addition to the foregoing referenced standards, the regulatory requirements that govern the
work of this section include the following governing code of Directorate General of Civil
Defence, Dubai or other relevant government body.
1.6 SUBMITTALS
A. General: Refer to Section 01330 - Submittal Procedures for submittal requirements and
procedures.
B. Product Data: Submit manufacturer's product data of the intumescent fireproofing material
proposed for this work, indicating product characteristics, performance, and limitations.
Include topcoat coating material and colour samples for exposed steel surfaces.
1. Colour of the topcoat in exposed locations requires the approval of the Architect before
the topcoat may be used in the work.
C. Certificates: Submit certificates from an independent testing laboratory, attesting that fire
protection material and installation methods meet specified fire hazard classifications and fire
resistance ratings.
1. The Contractor shall make necessary arrangements with the manufacturer of the
materials to be applied to provide on-site consultation and inspection services to
ensure the proper application of the intumescent fireproofing material.
2. At completion of the work, the manufacturer shall submit written certification that
fireproofing material was applied over inspected and approved base steel components
and that fireproofing material was applied correctly in accordance with these
Specifications and the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations.
A. Materials shall be delivered to the site in sealed containers properly marked and labelled to
show manufacturer’s name, brand, and certification of compliance with requirements for fire
hazard and fire resistance classifications. Damaged containers found unsuitable for use in
the work will be rejected and shall be removed from the site. Store materials under cover in a
dry location.
A. Surfaces to which fire protection material is to be applied, as well as the ambient temperature
during application and for twenty-four (24) hours after application, shall not fall below 10
degrees Celsius. Relative humidity shall be low enough to assure proper drying of the
applied material.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 MATERIALS
B. Decorative Topcoat Finish Material: Provide topcoat coating material for exposed steel as
recommended by the fireproofing material manufacturer in colour as selected by the
Engineer.
C. Primer: Factory-applied primer with adhesion and compatibility characteristics necessary for
the successful application of the fireproofing material.
2.2 MIXING
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Verify that items that will penetrate fireproofing, including clips and hangers for piping and
conduits are properly located and installed.
A. Surfaces to which intumescent fireproofing will be applied shall be cleaned of oil, grease, dirt,
loose paint, mill scale, or any other matter that may impair bond of fireproofing material to
steel.
B. Provide suitable templates, masking, or coverings to stop fireproofing material and overspray
at exposed finished surfaces in sharp and neat straight lines. Provide for protection of floors
and equipment from spillage and overspray.
3.3 APPLICATION
C. Apply decorative finish coating over intumescent fireproofing for exposed steel surfaces in
accordance with the manufacturer's application instructions and recommendations.
A. Perform patching and repairing of fireproofing material as required to provide the one-hour
and two-hour fire protection and related thickness. Include all patching and repairing of
fireproofing material required after the work of other trades has been installed, such as piping
and conduits, ductwork, and similar work. Re-apply fireproofing material as required to
maintain fire-resistive continuity.
A. Corrective measures, when necessary, shall be performed as required. The Contractor shall
require that the manufacturer of the fireproofing material submit recommendations for
corrective measures to the Engineer for approval.
B. The Contractor shall take frequent, dry film thickness (DFT) readings of applied material to
verify compliance with thickness requirements. Measurements shall be taken in accordance
with SSPC-PA2, Measurement of Dry Paint Thickness with Magnetic Gauges. Submit report
of such measurements to the Engineer for record purposes.
