Steel Structure Fireproofing and Fireproofing Paints in Saudi Arabia
As Saudi Arabia continues to expand its industrial, commercial, and infrastructure sectors, fire safety becomes a non-negotiable element in building design. For structural steel — which forms the skeleton of most modern buildings — applying fireproofing systems and paints is essential for ensuring safety, code compliance, and structural integrity.
At DTC, we offer complete solutions for steel structure fireproofing and fireproofing paints in Saudi Arabia, including engineering, certified application, and inspection services. We serve all major regions including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Khobar.
Why Fireproofing is Critical for Steel Structures
Steel is Strong — But Vulnerable to Heat
While steel doesn’t burn, it begins to lose strength rapidly when exposed to high temperatures. At around 550°C, its structural capacity drops by 50%, risking collapse during fires.
Compliance with Saudi Civil Defense
Building codes in Saudi Arabia mandate fire-resistant coatings for structural steel in all major commercial, industrial, and public buildings. DTC ensures full compliance with these codes through internationally approved materials and certified applications.
Life Safety and Asset Protection
Proper fireproofing delays heat transfer and provides up to 2 hours of fire resistance, giving occupants time to evacuate and emergency services time to respond.
Fireproofing Paints: How They Work
Intumescent Paint
This high-tech paint expands up to 100 times its original thickness when exposed to heat. The resulting char layer insulates the steel, maintaining its temperature below critical failure levels.
-
Smooth, architectural-grade finish
-
Ideal for visible steel structures
-
Used in malls, airports, showrooms, offices
Cementitious Coating
Made of gypsum or Portland cement, this coating provides durable fire resistance and is applied in thick layers.
-
Rougher finish
-
Better for industrial facilities and mechanical spaces
-
Cost-effective for large-scale use
DTC’s Fireproofing Services in Saudi Arabia
Complete Turnkey Solutions
From design consultation to final inspection, DTC handles every aspect of the fireproofing process.
Certified Materials
We apply fireproofing paints from leading global brands such as Jotun, Hempel, Sherwin-Williams, and Promat, all compliant with UL, ASTM, and Saudi Civil Defense requirements.
On-Site Execution
Our trained application teams use airless sprayers, rollers, and manual techniques depending on the coating type and project location.
Testing & Certification
We provide Dry Film Thickness (DFT) reports, test certificates, and full documentation for municipal and Civil Defense approval.
Fireproofing Applications Across Industries
Commercial Buildings
Office towers, malls, and exhibition centers — especially those with exposed steel structures — require intumescent coatings for both protection and aesthetics.
Industrial Plants
Factories, power plants, and storage facilities use cementitious fireproofing for heavy-duty fire resistance on structural steel and utility areas.
Infrastructure Projects
Airports, transit hubs, and stadiums demand long-duration fireproofing to ensure large-scale evacuation safety.
Oil & Gas
DTC applies hydrocarbon fireproofing systems for steel exposed to intense fire scenarios in refineries and petrochemical plants.
Our Fireproofing Process
1. Surface Preparation
Steel is cleaned, primed, and prepared to ensure optimal adhesion and long-term durability of the fireproofing layer.
2. Application of Fireproof Coating
We apply the intumescent or cementitious material based on project specifications, steel section types, and required fire rating (30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes).
3. Final Finishing
Where required, we offer decorative topcoats for color matching or weatherproofing, especially for exterior steel.
4. Inspection & Handover
Each step is monitored for thickness, curing, and uniformity, and documented for compliance.
