It sounds strange, but steel is vulnerable to fire. While Tata Tiscon doesn’t “burn,” it loses its strength (yield stress) when temperatures hit 600°C. If the steel in your pillars softens, the building can collapse even if the fire is put out.
How We Protect the Structure
Concrete Cover: By using a Mandrel to create perfect stirrups, you ensure a consistent 40mm “concrete cover.” This concrete acts as a thermal insulator, protecting the steel core from heat.
AAC Encasement: If you have exposed Tata Structura pillars in an industrial warehouse, encasing them in AAC blocks or fire-rated plaster provides an extra layer of protection.
Philips Smoke Detection: We provide smart Philips smoke detectors that alert you to heat increases long before a flame even appears.
Conclusion
Fire safety is about layers. Use the right steel, the right cover, and the right detection to keep your structure standing.
