The metallic structure gunite – a new technology applied for the first time in Romania by UTI Brasov

UTI BRASOV executed, for the first time in Romania, fire protection for metallic structures by special mortars gunite. The work was performed for the Office Building in Charles de Gaulle Square in Bucharest. UTI Brasov was assigned an applier certificate from the company TECRESA of Spain, the producer of these mortars.

The procedure consists of covering the metallic structure with a mortar layer (by pulverising it with a particular equipment), thus providing the structure with a fire resistance increase of up to 4 fours. Taking into account the fact that it costs less than the classical methods (thermo-foaming paint, plating), that it can be applied on an structure which is not protected against corrosives and the lower loading of the structure, this technology stands out as a promising solution.
