Fireproofing of Steel Structures in Saudi Arabia
High-Performance Fire Protection by DTC Contracting Company
When safety is on the line, trust DTC Contracting Company—a leader in fireproofing of steel structures in Saudi Arabia. Our advanced systems and expert team ensure full compliance with international fire safety standards, using intumescent coatings, fireproof boards, and spray-applied insulation to increase your building’s fire resistance.
Structural steel can begin to fail at 550°C, long before a fire reaches its full intensity. Unprotected steel can collapse in as little as 15 minutes, putting lives and investments at risk. DTC’s fireproofing solutions are designed to extend this timeframe up to 240 minutes, providing critical time for evacuation and emergency response.
Why Fireproofing Steel Structures is Crucial
Steel is strong, durable, and widely used—but it’s highly vulnerable in fire conditions. Without protection, heat can cause steel to lose up to 50% of its strength in minutes. That’s why passive fire protection is not a luxury—it’s a legal and structural requirement.
Key Benefits of Fireproofing:
-
Prevent structural collapse
-
Comply with Saudi Arabia’s building and fire codes
-
Protect lives and property
-
Lower insurance risks and costs
-
Ensure uninterrupted business operations
Fireproofing Systems We Offer at DTC
DTC delivers a range of custom fireproofing methods depending on your building design, location, timeline, and risk level.
1. Intumescent Coatings
Thin-film, spray-applied coatings that react to high temperatures by expanding into a thick, heat-insulating layer.
✅ Ideal for visible steel components
✅ Fast application and minimal added weight
✅ Fire ratings from 30 to 120+ minutes
✅ Suitable for commercial, industrial, and high-rise projects
2. Spray-Applied Fireproofing (CAF – Cementitious)
A durable coating used in mechanical areas, basements, or places with less aesthetic demand.
✅ Cost-effective fire resistance
✅ Good for steel decks, trusses, and hidden members
✅ Applied quickly and easily across large areas
3. Fireproof Boards & Mineral Wool Systems
Rigid boards made of non-combustible mineral wool or gypsum are used where coatings are impractical.
✅ Provides up to 240-minute fire ratings
✅ Great for steel joists, beams, and decks
✅ Best for exposed outdoor or corrosive environments
✅ Easily installed without spray systems
