Why PIP Coatings, Insulation and Fireproofing Practices?
Most build teams don’t have engineers on staff or work with EPCs who specialize in materials like coatings, insulation and fireproofing systems. Therefore, these areas often become an afterthought, being addressed long after a project gets underway. It’s a mistake that can lead to delays and added costs.
The PIP Coatings, Insulation and Fireproofing Practices team consists of 20-30 experts dedicated to developing specifications and practices that fill the gaps in standards with valuable, project-specific data. These resources can help you avoid one of the biggest hidden sticking points on a construction project.
