Our Process

1

Safety Assessment

We inspect the fire escape structure to assess condition, identify structural concerns, and determine appropriate blast media and preparation requirements.

2

Access Planning

We coordinate access arrangements and safety measures for working at height, ensuring health and safety practices.

3

Shot Blasting

Using appropriate blast media and pressure settings, we systematically clean all fire escape surfaces including stairs, landings, handrails, and support structures.

4

Quality Verification

We conduct thorough inspections to ensure all surfaces meet the required cleanliness and profile specifications for coating application.

5

Coating Application

We can coordinate protective coating application or galvanizing to ensure maximum corrosion protection and fire safety requirements.

Applications

External fire escape stairs
Fire escape towers
Emergency egress systems
External stair structures
Fire escape landings and platforms
Fire escape handrails and balustrades
Building evacuation systems
Multi-storey fire escapes

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we can coordinate work schedules to minimize disruption and maintain emergency egress routes. We work with building management to ensure alternative fire escape routes are available during refurbishment work.

We can coordinate with structural engineers to provide certification as required. Our shot blasting process reveals the true condition of the steel, allowing for accurate structural assessment.

We typically recommend intumescent fire-resistant coatings or hot-dip galvanizing for maximum corrosion protection and fire safety compliance. We can advise on the most appropriate system for your specific requirements.
