One-One-One Eagle Street is an iconic multi-award winning 54 level, 195m, 64000m2 building located in the centre of Brisbane CBD, designed to meet a six green star office rating. Nullifire's S707 thin film water-borne intumescent was selected for the fire rating of the 800+ feature structural steel columns. These columns were designed to represent the roots of the Moreton Bay fig tree leading to the iconic lighting feature. Permax collaborated with ARUP in order to meet the design challenges to fire rate the columns using an engineered fusable link system.
The recently opened Southern Precinct of Melbourne Airport Terminal 4 and Pier G developments commenced construction late 2013. The Airport was to remain fully operational during the construction process and thus all facets of construction were subject to a critical path analysis to deliver the project on time. A substantial amount of structural steel was included in the design of the various structures with over 2,700 tonnes of steel requiring 120 min fire protection with an intumescent coating system. The availability of a hybrid intumescent coating, Nullifire SC902, provided the solution to deliver the productivity outcomes required for this critical component of the project. By carrying out the intumescent coating application off-site (65,000kgs), the coated steel could be delivered to the construction site as finished sections ready for erection to meet the priorities of the construction program, minimising delays. Because bolted connections could be coated on-site at a later stage of construction the following trades could install services without disruption or delay.
Nullifire SC902 was selected for the 120 min fire rating of the structural steel columns for the Parramatta Police Station project. Works were carried out onsite with the glass curtain wall in place. Even though access was restricted, the applicators were still able to provide a good level of finish. The columns were exposed to view and thus were top sealed to provide an aesthetically pleasing finish.
In October 2015, The Hon. Warren Truss MP, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development opened the $45 million upgrade works to the Brisbane International Airport. Following consultation with the Engineers, Enstruct, and the Builder, SMI, in relation to the structural steel fire protection required for these significant upgrade works, the Nullifire SC902 intumescent basecoat system was selected as the thin film intumescent of choice for the construction works for the brand new Air New Zealand lounge.
The Permax team are highly qualified to help you with any question you may have. We can develop specifications, provide technical advisory notes and offer advice on design details to suit your project.
Nullifire SC902 "Fast Track' Hybrid intumescent basecoat was selected for use on the 'Heritage' structural steel components due to the unique surface tolerant properties of the coating. The coating was being applied on-site to steel that had minimal surface preparation due to its prior encasement in concrete ceiling beams and required a 120 min FRL performance.
Across the country, Nullifire products have been applied for over ten years to new, existing and refurbished buildings and structures. From the humidity and storms of North Queensland, to the dry, hot conditions of Perth.
Nullifire is a brand recognized as a global leader in passive fire protection systems, and has become synonymous with some of the best structural steel fire protection coatings technologies available today. Formulated and manufactured to the highest standards, the Nullifire thin film intumescent coatings - specifically the SC900 series - offer application and performance advantages which have made it the first choice of builders, engineers, architects and specifiers in many countries world wide.
Created to provide optimal performance on either internal or external steel, Nullifire SC902 is a low VOC, one coat, fast track, high build system, based on patented technology that offers fire protection up to 120 minutes.
All Nullifire intumescent fire protection systems have been tested in accordance with AS1530.4 and AS4100-1998. Project specific warranties can be offered if required, dependant on your particular project.
One of the most aspects in the process of constructing new buildings and renovating old structures is analysing the fire risk factor of your chosen building materials. Aside from compliance to fire safety grading standards, this is also done in order to help building owners put a damage control plan and fire protection strategy in place, in case an unfortunate event happens.
Changes in the Building Code, advances in technology and an ever increasing amount of responsibility for anyone involved in construction, means trying to understand the highly technical world of fire rating compliance can be a difficult one. Recognising this, we have an engineering team who are available to help you with your construction project. Our technical and structural engineering department can provide you with an optimised solution based on your specific structural loadings and fire performance requirements.
