    Makkah Clock Tower - Mecca Saudi Arabia

    Uploaded by

    sushmak
    The Makkah Clock Tower in Mecca, Saudi Arabia is the second tallest building and largest clock tower ever built at 1,893 feet tall. It required over 10,000 gallons of Thermo-Lag 3000-P fireproofing coating to protect the 50,000 square foot steel structure. Thermo-Lag 3000-P was selected for its superior thermal efficiency and ability to achieve a smooth, consistent finish in minimal coats and thickness due to its high performance properties. The fireproofing and aesthetic coatings helped protect and beautify the critical steel infrastructure of the prominent building.

    Project Description:
    The Makkah Clock Royal Tower is the second tallest building and the biggest clock tower
    Surface Prep: ever built in the world. It stands at an impressive 1,893 feet (577 m) tall. It is part of the
    SSPC-SP 6 (Commercial Blast)
    Abaj AlBait project in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is comprised of hotels, apartments, offices
    and retail stores.
    Exposure:
    Exterior Weathering - mild - urban or
    The complex is located directly in front of the Grand Mosque (Islam's holiest shrine) where
    rural exposure
    all Muslims must face to pray. The clock tower itself will be used for the call to prayer
    within the city of Mecca. The project was designed by SL-Rasch Gmbh with the Saudi
    Binladin Group as the general contractor.

    The Makkah Clock Tower project was a 50,000 ft (4,500 m) project that required over
    10,000 gallons of Thermo-Lag 3000-P. The specification called for a 2 hour UL 1709
    hydrocarbon rating for the structural steel beams and column supports. Thermo-Lag
    3000-P was able to meet this specification at 310 mils (7.9 mm).

    All the steel was primed with Carbomastic 15 and the Thermo-Lag 3000-P was topcoated
    with Carboguard 1340 / Carbothane 133 HB for superior weather resistance.
    Project Challenge:
    This project is a very visible, high profile application. Attaining the highest quality and
    aesthetic finish possible was paramount. The specification called for a smooth consistent
    finish.

    Coating Selection Explanation:


    Carboline's Thermo-Lag 3000-P was selected based on it's superior thermal efficiency and
    it's proven track record of achieving high end aesthetic finishes on a variety of projects.
    The low thickness requirements of this material enable it to be quickly applied and finished
    to achieve a superior surface appearance in minimal coats and minimal time.

    This low thickness requirement translates into tremendous labor savings to install and
    overall weight savings to the structure. Thermo-Lag 3000-P had at least a 40% thickness
    advantage over closest competitor giving savings in weight and enabling our overall
    material cost to be attractive.
