Data Center Fireproofing in Austin, TX
What We Do
Fireproofing & Passive Fire Protection for Data Centers in Austin, TX
Mericka Group delivers fireproofing and passive fire protection services built for mission-critical data center environments across Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, and the entire I-35 tech corridor. We protect structural steel, equipment zones, mechanical spaces, and support areas with cementitious and intumescent coatings designed for high-heat events and code-driven compliance. Our teams work clean, fast, and in step with general contractors, keeping schedules on track and minimizing rework.
What Fireproofing Means for Austin Data Centers
Data centers run on strict timelines and even tighter safety requirements. Fireproofing protects the structural steel and key support elements that keep a facility standing long enough for suppression systems and emergency response to work. In high-load facilities like those built throughout Austin’s tech corridor, coatings must be applied accurately, documented correctly, and installed without slowing down other trades.
Mericka Group handles this work with precise surface prep, consistent spray application, and clean integration with electrical, mechanical, and access contractors. Our crews understand the needs of live hyperscale job sites and maintain a workflow that prevents delays for follow-on trades.
Core Components of Data Center Fireproofing Support
- Cementitious Fireproofing: Applied to columns, beams, decks, and structural members to meet required fire-resistance ratings without disrupting the build sequence.
- Intumescent Fireproofing: A clean, durable finish used in exposed-steel areas, equipment rooms, and architectural spaces where appearance and rating both matter.
- Code-Driven Application: Installed to meet Austin, Travis County, and national fire-rating requirements with full documentation for commissioning and inspections.
- Integrated Jobsite Coordination: Scheduled around mechanical, electrical, scaffolding, and steel trades to keep the job moving without unnecessary shutdowns.
We support greenfield builds, expansions, retrofits, and hyperscale build-outs across Austin with coatings applied cleanly and efficiently.
