When Zurich Airport decided to renovate its impressive open air car park, it looked for a future-proof solution to protect its steel load-bearing structure against fire. A protection with PROMATECT-H® boards was chosen to guarantee 30 years of structural fire safety.

The Hungarian State Opera House renovation with PROMATECT®-H system.

Promat successfully tested one of the highest compartmentation walls in the world, built with PROMATECT®-100X boards. Our fire protection board was used to build a giant wall in one of the highest furnaces available in Europe.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the residual properties of reinforced concrete in tunnels after HCM (Majorated Hydro Carbon) and ISO type fire incidents lasting 120 minutes, where the concrete has been either protected by protective boards or by addition of polypropylene fibres.

TEST TEST

The structural integrity and resilience of tunnel linings are enhanced with passive fire protection systems, using boards or spray mortar.

A firestopping solution is a system designed to contain the spread of fire in a building. Read about 8 mistakes to avoid when implementing such a passive fire protection solution.

The Sydney Metro have chosen Over Track Exhaust Ducts as opposed to concrete structures.

In 2016 the Tunnel team started to support colleagues in Poland during initial talks to supply PROMATECT® boards for a new tunnel South of Poland - Rabka Zdroj – situated 60km from Krakow - a part of S7 Expressway in direction to Zakopane (Polish biggest mountain resort town).

We are proud to collaborate in the realization of the construction of the Łagiewnicka Route, part of the Kraków inner southern bypass.

As more people gain access to electric vehicles, charging power stations can become a major security risk. How to protect electric charging areas from fires?

Promat has a mission to protect people and buildings against fire, whatever the cause. This is why we contributed to the unique EQUFIRE project to test if our PROMATECT-H board will maintain its fire protection capabilities after several severe earthquakes. The results were spectacular.

Fire following earthquake is a common occurrence. Learn how to protect lives, buildings, and streets from ruin via fire in earthquake with fire boards.

When determining the contribution that a passive fire protection system provides to the fire resistance of a steel structure, standardised test methods are used. In those tests, the focus is primarily on beams and columns.
