Shop Fireproofing
Apache’s North Lake Houston Facility is the premier facility for shop-applied fireproofing on the Gulf Coast. We have over 100 acres of blasting, painting, and fireproofing space with 330,000 square feet of climate-controlled workspace. Our peak capacity for fireproofing can reach as high as 300,000 square feet of structural steel per month. If you can put it on a truck, it can be fireproofed at our shop.
Modular Fireproofing
Apache can provide turnkey services for delivery of fireproofing—including blasting, painting, fireproofing application, and scaffold support at any facility around the country. Whether at our facility or yours, we can develop an execution plan to meet your project needs.
