Data Center Fireproofing in San Antonio
What We Do
Fireproofing & Passive Fire Protection for Data Centers in San Antonio, TX
Mericka Group provides industrial fireproofing and passive fire protection services for data center projects across San Antonio and South Texas. As hyperscale and enterprise facilities expand along the I-35 and I-10 corridors, fire protection systems must be installed accurately, documented properly, and coordinated tightly with steel, mechanical, and electrical trades.
Our teams apply cementitious and intumescent fireproofing systems that protect structural steel, equipment zones, and mechanical spaces—ensuring data center fire protection requirements are met without disrupting construction schedules.
How Data Centers Are Fireproofed in San Antonio
Fireproofing a data center involves applying rated industrial coating and fireproofing systems to structural steel and critical support components. These systems slow heat transfer during a fire event, preserving structural integrity long enough for data center fire suppression systems and emergency response procedures to function.
In San Antonio’s high-load facilities—where power density, cooling infrastructure, and elevated equipment are concentrated—fireproofing must be installed with precision. Mericka Group prepares surfaces, applies coatings to specification, and coordinates access so work progresses without delaying adjacent trades.
Core Elements of Data Center Fire Protection
- Cementitious Fireproofing: Industrial-grade fireproofing applied to beams, columns, decks, and framing to achieve required fire-resistance ratings.
- Intumescent Coatings: Thin-film systems used where appearance, durability, and clean finishes are required in exposed or occupied areas.
- Code-Compliant Installation: Applied to meet San Antonio, Bexar County, and national fire protection standards with inspection-ready documentation.
- Integrated Trade Coordination: Fireproofing sequenced around steel erection, mechanical systems, and scaffolding to maintain jobsite flow.
This approach ensures data center fire protection is installed correctly the first time—without rework or schedule disruption.
