From the industrial zones of Jubail to the high-rise developments in Riyadh and Jeddah, we provide the technical expertise and certified application methods required to meet the most demanding international safety standards.
Why Partner with Specialized Cementitious Contractors in KSA?
Cementitious fireproofing is a complex engineering task, not a simple coating application. It involves applying a specially formulated plaster-like material that contains aggregates like vermiculite or perlite. When exposed to fire, this material undergoes a chemical reaction that releases moisture, significantly delaying the temperature rise of the underlying steel.
The Qasr Al Himayah Engineering Standard
As premier cementitious contractors in KSA, we go beyond the spray. Our process ensures:
-
Adhesion Excellence: We perform rigorous surface preparation to ensure the bond between the steel and the cementitious material exceeds industry standards.
-
Thickness Accuracy: We utilize precise gauges to ensure the Dry Film Thickness (DFT) meets the specific hourly fire rating (1-hour, 2-hour, or 4-hour) required by the project’s fire safety plan.
-
Climate Resilience: Our formulations are specifically chosen to withstand the extreme thermal cycling and high humidity found in the Western and Eastern provinces.
Our Core Cementitious Fireproofing Services
We offer a range of solutions tailored to different building types and environmental exposures.
1. Wet-Mix Spray Applications
Ideal for large-scale commercial buildings and parking structures, wet-mix applications offer high production rates and exceptional bond strength. This is the preferred choice for cementitious contractors in KSA working on enclosed structural steel.
2. High-Density (HD) Systems for Industrial Use
For refineries, petrochemical plants, and power stations, we utilize high-density cementitious materials. These are engineered to withstand “hydrocarbon fire” scenarios, which reach much higher temperatures much faster than standard office fires.
3. Retrofitting and Repair
Aging infrastructure often requires fireproofing upgrades. We specialize in the removal of failing materials and the re-application of modern, asbestos-free cementitious sprays to bring older facilities up to modern Saudi Civil Defense standards.
Compliance: Saudi Building Code & Civil Defense (SCD)
The most critical factor for any cementitious contractors in KSA is regulatory compliance. In Saudi Arabia, all fireproofing work must be documented, tested, and approved.
Our Certification Commitment:
-
UL & Intertek Listed Systems: We only apply materials that have been tested and certified by independent laboratories like Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
-
SCD Documentation: We provide full documentation, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Technical Data Sheets (TDS), and application logs, to ensure your project receives its final Saudi Civil Defense (SCD) certificate without delay.
-
ASTM Testing Standards: Our work follows ASTM E119 and ASTM E605 standards for thickness and density verification.

The Qasr Al Himayah 5-Step Application Process
Precision is the hallmark of a leading contractor. Our workflow ensures zero errors:
-
Substrate Preparation: Cleaning the steel of oil, dirt, and loose rust. If necessary, a specialized primer is applied to ensure maximum adhesion.
-
Lath Installation (If Required): For high-thickness applications or exterior exposure, we install galvanized steel lath to reinforce the cementitious material.
-
Mixing & Pumping: Utilizing advanced spray machinery to achieve a consistent material density.
-
Spray Application: Multiple passes are made until the required thickness for the specified fire rating is achieved.
-
Quality Assurance: On-site density and bond strength testing, followed by a final inspection report for the client and civil defense.
