00;00;00;00 – 00;00;40;25 Unknown The investment in electrification of the automotive market is driving rapid construction of EV battery facilities throughout North America. These massive facilities introduce complex and unique challenges for the owners and constructors tasked with building them faster than ever. Traditional field applied installation of passive fire protection materials disrupts construction trades by requiring preparation, application sharing and cleanup at the Mega-site exposure to unpredictable weather conditions impacts dry times, resulting in scheduled delays and added project costs. 00;00;40;28 – 00;01;10;12 Unknown However, there is a better way to fireproof Your steel shop applied in tumescent fireproof coatings can enhance both safety and quality by reducing potential risk as work is done mostly offsite at ground level. Following the application of Sherwin-Williams Fire text in tumescent coating, which is engineered to withstand severe operating environments, physical demands of transportation and construction, the fireproof steel is delivered to the job site ready for assembly. 00;01;10;14 – 00;01;44;20 Unknown This process not only reduces site congestion, but accelerates construction schedules by requiring fewer tradespeople and onsite equipment, lower rental fees, and boosting productivity by adopting sharp, applied fireproofing on mega-projects. Construction teams can achieve increased safety on the project site. Reduction of job site insurance costs. Reduction of field applied coding disruptions and reduction of waste, which helped save millions of dollars and thousands of hours at Sherwin-Williams. 00;01;44;24 – 00;02;06;19 Unknown Our goal is to help you create a sustainable and operationally excellent EV battery facility by engaging with our Construction Solutions team. We can help create a safer, faster, simpler construction project. Contact us today to get your project started.
With the construction of EV battery facilities throughout North America, owners and constructors are tasked with building them faster than ever. Traditional field-applied fire protection installation can cause delays and added project costs compared to shop-applied intumescent fire protection coatings. Sherwin-Williams Firetex™ shop-applied coatings can help reduce site congestion, accelerate construction schedules, while improving both safety and quality. Therefore, resulting in reduction of job site insurance costs, field-applied coating disruptions and waste.
