Passive Fire Protection Services Installation Contractor in Dubai UAE

In high-risk industrial environments, commercial buildings, and critical infrastructure, safeguarding against fire is not just a regulatory requirement-it’s a life-saving imperative. Protek Contracting offers comprehensive Passive Fire Protection Contracting Services in Dubai, UAE and Middle East, serving all seven emirates-Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah-with unmatched precision, compliance, and dedication to safety.

With decades of expertise in the insulation and cladding industry, Protek is a recognized name for implementing robust passive fire protection systems that enhance safety, extend structural integrity, and mitigate fire-related losses across various sectors including oil & gas, petrochemical, power, marine, and commercial construction.

What Is Passive Fire Protection?

Passive Fire Protection (PFP) involves systems and materials designed to prevent or slow the spread of fire and smoke, safeguarding structural stability during fire incidents. Unlike active systems such as sprinklers or alarms, PFP is always “on,” forming an integral part of the building or equipment itself.

Our PFP solutions are engineered to compartmentalize fire, protect escape routes, and delay heat transmission, allowing critical time for evacuation and emergency response. Whether it’s a refinery in Abu Dhabi, a commercial tower in Dubai, or a power plant in Sharjah, we deliver code-compliant, high-performance fire protection systems tailored to your environment.

Core Components of Our Passive Fire Protection Systems

1. Intumescent Coatings

These advanced coatings expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming a carbonaceous char that insulates structural elements like steel beams and columns. Ideal for use in high-rise structures in Ajman or oilfield installations in Fujairah.

2. Vermiculite Cementitious Spray

This non-combustible spray protects steel structures and ductwork, particularly useful in industrial zones like Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. It offers excellent adhesion, thermal insulation, and fire resistance ratings of up to 240 minutes.

3. Fire-Rated Boards and Enclosures

Systems such as Promat, Cafco, and others are applied to ducts, walls, and penetrations. They’re critical for creating fire-rated barriers in utility tunnels, control rooms, and equipment chambers across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

4. Fire Stopping Materials

Sealants, wraps, collars, and mortars are used to seal penetrations caused by piping, cables, or conduits, restoring fire compartmentation integrity.

5. Cable Tray Wraps and Pipe Enclosures

Designed to prevent fire spread through utility routes, these systems are particularly beneficial in complex facilities such as data centers in Sharjah and marine vessels docked in Fujairah.

Why Passive Fire Protection Matters in the UAE

The UAE's unique industrial diversity and architectural innovation demand a nuanced approach to fire safety. Across Dubai’s skyscrapers, Abu Dhabi’s refineries, Sharjah’s universities, and Ajman’s healthcare facilities, passive fire protection is a foundational layer of risk management.

Civil Defense Approval is a critical requirement in the UAE, and Protek’s systems meet or exceed all local and international fire codes. We ensure compatibility with:

  • UAE Civil Defense Code
  • NFPA Standards
  • BS/EN Fire Ratings
  • ISO 834 and ASTM E119

Industries We Serve

 Oil & Gas and Petrochemical

Facilities in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah demand the highest level of PFP to protect tanks, pipelines, process equipment, and control rooms.

 Commercial and Residential Buildings

We implement intumescent coatings and fire boards in malls, high-rise apartments, and hotels across Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman.

 Power & Utility Plants

Critical structures in Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain benefit from vermiculite sprays and fire wraps that ensure uninterrupted operations during fire events.

 Marine & Offshore

Vessels, offshore rigs, and ports in Fujairah require specialized marine-grade PFP systems to meet IMO and SOLAS regulations.

Project Execution Workflow

  1. Risk Assessment & Survey
    • Site inspection in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other emirates
    • Identification of structural vulnerabilities
    • Compliance verification with UAE Civil Defense
  2. Design & Engineering

    • CAD layout for application zones
    • Material selection and compatibility study
  3. Installation
    • Surface preparation and priming
    • Layer-by-layer application of coatings or wraps
    • Sealant and penetration protection as per UL/FM listing
  4. Inspection & Testing
    • Third-party fire testing (where applicable)
    • Adhesion testing, DFT measurements, and core sampling
    • Final sign-off by Civil Defense and client
