Performance Under Fire

Thanks to a wise decision made 16 years ago, and a first-rate team of over 275 firefighters, the First Interstate Bank building in Los Angeles is still standing after the largest high-rise fire in California history. Temperatures in the blaze soared to more than 2000 degrees F, disintegrating gypsum wallboard, melting desks and chairs, and making twisted wrecks of metal ducts on four floors. But, the fireproofed structural steel beams, columns and decking withstood the onslaught, limiting the spread of the fire and preventing total building collapse.

Allstates Fireproofing, Inc. offers the best fireproofing options from the worlds finest manufacturers of fire retardant materials. Protecting employees and property are what matter most.

Fireproofing is an application that is not on every project and therefore disrupts the normal sequencing of construction. It is our objective on every project to be actively involved with the project manager providing information that he may not be aware of that could have an impact on the project.

We feel it is extremely important to be almost invisible on the job site in order to avoid conflicts with other trades. We realize that fireproofing is a disruption and have developed project coordination techniques to minimize the impact of our presence on the job site.
