Fire-Stopping

Fire-stopping systems are used to prevent fire in a particular floor from spreading to other

floors. This is accomplished by sealing openings and joints through which fire could spread to

other floors. Basically, there are four types of openings / joints to which tested fire-stopping

systems are applied to prevent the spread of gasses, smoke and fire. These are

• !oints between construction components. These includes wall/wall, wall/floor, and

wall/ceiling joints.

• Floor perimeters " slab edges and e#terior wall cavities.

• $enetrations, including openings for mechanical, electrical, structural,

security, communications, piping and wiring circuits.

•

%penings with no penetrations

&icoTech offers its e#pertise in installing effective fire-stopping systems in accordance with

the manufacturers' instructions.

(e can offer a full fledged system to suit various re)uirements which includes fire-rated

sealants, ablative

batts, fire-rated mortars, various board systems, collars, pipe wraps, e#pansion joints and

linear gap seals.

Passive Fire Protection Defined

$assive fire protection is used to compartmentali*e and curtail fire. +n doing so, it protectsstructural stability, integrity and saves lives in case of fire. Fire-proofing and fire-stopping are

the two types of passive fire protection systems, and are complementary to each other..

Fire-Resistant Cable Coatings

Concept of Fire-Resistant Cable Coating

ables are prone to self-igniting locally due overheating caused by short circuiting. They can

also be overheated due to e#ternal factors such as fires. Fire-resistant cable coatings are used

to prevent the propagation of fire along internal electrical cables and to protect thefunctionality of those cables .These coatings are used worldwide in a wide variety of

structures, including service tunnels, power plants, substations, and electrical and plant rooms.

Standards

Fire-resistant cable coatings are tested under the following standards

Results

&icoTech offers application of spray and brush-applied fire-resistant coatings on cables and

cable-trays, preventing the spread of fire for minutes and the ignition of cables for at least

minutes, even with a direct flame and surrounding temperature higher then 012. Theapplied coatings retard any direct flames travelling through hori*ontal and vertical cables and

cable trays. &icoTech offers its e#pertise in application of cable coatings in accordance with

the project specifications, industry standards, and manufacturers' recommendations.

Cementitious Fire-proofing

This is the most popular and economic means of fire-proofing. +t involves spraying light-

weight cement-based material on structural steel members to a predetermined thicknesscomputed as per 34T5 or B4 standards. This method is normally used for members that are

concealed behind false ceilings or column encasements.

&icoTech is an approved applicator for various passive fire-protection systems that include

light-weight as well as high-density materials suitable for industrial and commercial

re)uirements.

The systems offered by &icoTech conform to the following international fire resistance

standards

Intumescent Fire-proofingThis is commonly used where appearance matters most. 3pplied with airless spray e)uipment

by professionals as per 67/34T5 standards, intumescent fire-proofing offers a great deal in

terms of design freedom.

&icoTech offers e#pertise in the application of water-based intumescent paint systems that

enhance the beauty of e#posed steel structures while providing fire resistant upto 80 minutes

as per B4 91 $art 08, upto hours fire resistance as per 34T5 :88;, einforced concrete is robust and highly durable. ?owever, it is sensitive to faults resulting

from design flaws, incorrect construction practices or both.

:#ternal influences such as attacks from chlorides and sulphates cause severe adverse effects

on reinforced concrete structures. These include corrosion of reinforcement and softening of

concrete. &icoTech provides its clients with complete package solutions to their concrete

related construction problems. This is achieved through careful diagnosis, definition of repair

methodology, suitable material specification and finally e#ecution of the job. 3ll operations of

&icoTech are supervised by professional people who have been in this field for over a decadein the 5iddle :ast.

Crack Injection

racks in concrete structures usually signify more major problems and must not be ignored.

racks can cause subsoil water to leak into a faulty structure or storage water to leak out.

Furthermore, cracks can e#pose reinforcing steel to o#ygen and moisture, hence making the

steel susceptible to corrosion. 3t &icoTech, these problems are tackled through the most

sophisticated systems of injection using state-of-the-art machines to completely fill the crack

either with epo#y or polyurethane resins.

Protective Coatings

$revention is better than cure. 3 protective coating on a concrete structure will greatly

enhance its durability and resistance to degradation from adverse conditions, hence increasing

the lifespan significantly.

This is especially true in the salt-laden atmosphere of the 5iddle :ast. &icoTech can suggest

the right type of coating for any structure based on its e#posure and intended usage@ the

company is fully e)uipped to carry out the most effective kind of surface preparation using

sand/grit blasting e)uipment as well as high pressure water jetting machines. &icoTech's well

trained sprayers perform e#cellent application using modern airless spray machine.

Industrial Floorings

+ndustrial floors are often subjected to high temperature, abrasion and heavy loads, oftenconcentrated in very small areas. 7ack of sufficient protection could result in severe damage

to these surfaces that would not only be e#pensive to repair, but would also disrupt work and

productivity.

&icoTech offers clients a variety of flooring systems to suit their needs based on the use and

nature of the anticipated traffic in the concerned area.

Car Park Coatings

ar park floors are liable to harm not only from high wear and tear but also from leakages

caused by cracks. onse)uently, it is vital that these surfaces are protected through suitable

coatings.

&icoTech provides many type of coatings systems customi*ed for different sections of the

structure such as ramps, driveways and roof car park decking which are e#posed to 6A

radiation.

Marine Repairs and Acid Proof inings

5arine structures suffer the onslaught of concentrated chlorides present in sea water, leading

to rapid corrosion of reinforcement, particularly in the plash *ones. That is why huge cracksand spalls can be seen in the )uay walls.

$rolonged e#posure to sea water without proper protection will eventually result in steel piles

losing their section. +f not fi#ed in time, this will result in severe and costly damage. &icoTech

has the capability to investigate, analy*e and propose the most appropriate repair systems for

such problems. The company's long e#perience in this field helps ensure that clients get the

best technology available.

#routing

$roper installation of load-bearing units, underground pipes and various fi#ings re)uires voids

formed between the e)uipment and soil, or between load bearing units, to be thoroughly

sealed, ensuring structural stability.

Crouting is the injection of specially formulated cement, epo#y or other mi#es into theground to improve its strength or reduce permeability. +t is carried out by drilling holes into

the foundation to intercept open cracks, joints, fissures or cavities, then pumping the grouting

compound under pressure, hence sealing any voids.

&icoTech provides grouting solutions for

• 6nderground pipes " sealing leaks, filling voids Dcaused by infiltration of groundwater

and backfillE, stabili*ing the surrounding soil
