New & Retrofit Installations
Burn Room lined with Padgenite |
WHP liners are excellent for both steel and concrete buildings. WHP has helped numerous departments add additional burn areas to existing training facilities. We have also retrofitted concrete buildings that have been damaged over time.
New Concrete Buildings
To ensure building longetivity, insulating concrete structures is critical. As metal buildings are heated they tend to expand at a uniform rate. As concrete buildings are heated, the aggregate expands at a non-uniform rate, producing spalling and resulting in added stress to the structure. This in time can result in a condemned building.
Retrofitted Burn Rooms
If you are considering retrofitting a damaged concrete building, it may be necessary to have an engineer assess the structural integrity of the damaged area.
A Successful Project Begins with Good Planning
1.) Take digital pictures of the area to be lined
2.) Gather blueprints if available
3.) Note locations of windows, doors and areas where wall surfaces are not flat
4.) Determine square footages needed (including ceiling heights)
5.) Determine if burn room will be designed for Class A materials or gas-fired simulators
6.) Establish location of fires
7.) Review liner options to determine the best match
8.) Contact the WHP team to discuss your burn room plans and request a list of satisfied clients.
