Nice article in this month's Life Safety Digest about the need for full-scale fully loaded testing of applied fireproofing products. Small scale non-loaded tests typically get you thinner thicknesses so what's the issue? 😀 #spraynpray Thanks Bill McHugh and National Fireproofing Contractors Association for continuing to highlight the disturbing fact that some AHJ are willing to accept these small-scale non-loaded tests in lieu of the full-scale fully loaded tests as run by UL Solutions, Intertek etc. https://lnkd.in/gZTXMFmy MONOKOTE fire protection Mark St. Onge Dennis Rocha

Massive MONOKOTE fire protection thank you to all at Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing for their faith in our product. #YieldProductionTrust #Weturnhazardintohappiness Blake Mueller Rick Mihevc Annmarie Ott
When it comes to hazardous storage, safety comes first. Our Dallas team applied Monokote MK-6/HY on the roof and Carboline Thermosorb VOC on the columns to safeguard this 90,000 SF warehouse and achieve a one-hour rating.

Can we effectively use embodied carbon as an argument for retaining iconic buildings rather than demolishing them. Answer is probably yes ~ almost all calculations show to be a lower whole life carbon solution. That means that you want your fireproofing to last. From the Marks & Spencers Oxford Street store in London , to The James R. Thompson Center (JRTC), in Chicago (home of the skyscraper and 2nd to none) under reconstruction as Google center or Googleplex Chicago . Designed by Jahn/ it was built to house offices of the Illinois state government and opened in 1985, becoming a LOOP icon. In 2022, Google purchased the building from the state and expects to move in 2026, after two years and $280 million of renovations.[2] The applied fireproofing was originally MONOKOTE fire protection MK-5, applied by Wilkin Insulation Co. #AbeKreml , with help from our Michael Sheahen, and Rick Mihevc. Almost 40 years later it remains in great shape. Since 1938 we have been working with industry legends to provide fireproofing that will stand the test of time and provide the required FRR for the lifespan of the building.

As construction on the redevelopment of the James R. Thompson Center progresses, more of the original structure is revealed, offering a rare opportunity to see this familiar building through a completely new lens. The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board documented this in an editorial published yesterday, titled "Thanks to Google, Chicago has an amazing new tourist attraction. Temporarily." We're glad that others are appreciating the unique glimpse it provides — not just into the building itself, but into many of our core design principles as a studio, which we continue to practice every day. 🔗 https://buff.ly/3ZTVEjI 📸: Rainer Viertlböck

We hope the roast was tasty....or at least as tasty as the spraying. Well done to tom webb and the #nozzlemen on another outstanding application of MONOKOTE fire protection. When high production is a requirement and scheduling is an issue, there is nothing better. #YieldProductionTrust #takesateam - Rick Mihevc Tamar Saison Thierry PERNOT Todd Laidlaw Guillaume Le Gavrian John Rakic (aka Hound)
One of the monokote crews were out at the weekend doing two monster beams in a live loading bay ,25 meters long 1700mm deep. All wrapped up and home for Sunday roast ! #fastfasterfastestsprayproduct # thenozzlemen

Our Courtney Watson and evergreen Curt Baske made a recent visit to the University of Pittsburgh New Recreation and Wellness Center where MONOKOTE fire protection partner Wyatt was spraying our MK-10 & Z-106/HY. Thanks to architect Moody Nolan and Barton Malow for their choice of product. We are happy to be able to assist the project (and yours) in their pursuit of #LEED Gold certification. Great to see the crews using the MONOKOTE fire protection Yield calculator app. Huge thanks to Nick Castagnaro and #Tom Warrick for their help. #YieldProductionTrust #45POINT7 #gr #takesateam - Rick Mihevc Dennis Wilson Raj Deshpande, PhD MBA Amanda Szulinski Jennifer Vorberger

#EPD are great but we need to move beyond simply getting them to tick a box or fulfil a spec need. Look at the embodied carbon information within and make informed choices. You can find out more about the #EC of thousands of building materials, including MONOKOTE fire protection via the Building Transparency website and their #EC3 tool. https://lnkd.in/e2TeS6Ju Katie Poss Stacy Smedley Mikaela DeRousseau #YPT #45POINT7 Devin Yedo Seth Rappaport Rick Mihevc Tania Della-Santa

Per UL Solutions there is no such thing as a universal fireproofing patch product that may be used to patch any SFRM, and the use of a 3rd party product would invalidate the rating. Please contact the manufacturer of the applied fireproofing for information on what products may be used to patch when needed. Nearly all of the products used historically on steel can be easily identified. Other products may not be used to patch MONOKOTE fire protection. To do so would invalidate the rating. #YPT Mark St. Onge Bill McHugh Philip Mancuso Rick Mihevc
In healthcare construction, infection control is paramount. With Universal Fireproofing Patch (UFP), we help contractors maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. Traditional spray-on fireproofing repairs can create dust and require off-hours work—adding both risk and cost. UFP offers a neat, organized repair process that eliminates those concerns, ensuring a dust-free environment without disrupting sensitive areas or patient care. UFP is the go-to solution for safe, efficient, and cost-effective fireproofing in healthcare settings. www.Fireproofingpatch.com #UniversalFireproofingPatch #UFP #fireproofing #fireproofingsolutions #FireSafety #HealthcareConstruction #InfectionControl #Fireproofing #SafetyFirst

MONOKOTE fire protection Mushroom sighting. It's all about the yield. Our Philip Mancuso and Lisa Semling (who bravely left NYC 😀 ) made the trip to the H-1 at HELIX in New Brunswick, NJ yesterday. Great pictures, great application by Dominick Zappala , David Newmiller, and Steve Osorio from Tru Team / Insulation Contractors. Use MONOKOTE products and accelerator , with the MONOKOTE Yield Ap, and you get more yield per bag and can spray more bags per day. #YieldProductionTrust #45POINT7 Rick Mihevc Robert Montanaro JINGOLI
