Talk covers   

•   Intumescent fire protection – what it is
•   Structural engineering design consideration affecting fire protection - design considerations for
     structural engineers
•   Passive fire protection (PFP) optimisation approach - estimation data and how to optimise
     dry-film thickness (DFT) thicknesses
•   Fire engineering project engagement - effective working, data types and HEET Dynamic


SYNOPSIS

Demystify intumescent fire protection by explaining what it is, how to calculate and optimise a coating dryfilm thickness to protect your primary structural steelwork and delve deeper into discussing how member structural load information can be used to make savings and optimise the coating thickness. I will also comment on what structural engineering design considerations impact fire protection, hence should be weighed up when considering project costs. I’ll conclude with how Hempel can best collaborate with our clients and what free software Hempel has for customers to estimate themselves.
