Temporary Surface Protection Materials

For Shipyards and Marine Outfitters, completing newbuild and refurbishment projects on time, within budget and with no setbacks is essential. Delays can incur penalties for contractors and operators if vessels aren't delivered or returned to service on schedule.

When undertaking any outfitting or refurbishment work onboard, it makes practical and financial sense to protect the ship’s structure, fixtures and fittings to reduce the risk of accidental damage and the resulting time and cost implications of unexpected repairs, cleaning and making good.

Your organisation can almost certainly benefit from adopting temporary protection on your next project, it may even be a contractual requirement, but the benefits are considerable.

This is How We Help

Temprotech supply a range of flame retardant protection materials that meet the exacting demands of Marine and Offshore markets during outfitting, refurbishment and repair.

We are proud to have been instrumental in developing and promoting the concept and use of temporary protection materials in the marine industry. With more than twenty years experience, Temprotech have supplied protection materials to the world's leading cruise lines, the most luxurious cruise ships and megayachts, the most technologically advanced Naval vessels and very latest Offshore platforms.

A commitment to protect surfaces, people and assets demonstrates to yards, owners and operators an enhanced commitment, awareness and responsibility from tender through to project completion.

Surface Protection Benefits

Surface protection is crucial to the success and timely completion of newbuild, outfitting and refurbishment projects. And the benefits are far-reaching.

Time is money and yards, contractors and outfitters find themselves under constant pressure to complete jobs without delay. The combined activity and movement of workers, materials and equipment all in relatively confined spaces and often surrounded by finished areas, makes accidental damage almost inevitable. Adopting proper temporary protection materials can help to eliminate the damage to expensive walls, flooring, furniture and equipment.

Surface protection helps preserve and maintain the aesthetic appeal of ship interiors that are exposed to potential damage or wear and ensures these assets remain in good condition. In some cases, the use of surface protection materials prolongs the lifespan of existing carpet, furniture, fittings and surfaces to be re-used and limits the need for replacement.

Temporary protection materials not only protect finished surfaces from accidental damage, they also protect against contamination from dust, dirt, overspray and spillages which can be as destructive to walls, floors and finished surfaces. Protection materials make it easier and encourage workers to keep work areas clean during a project and drastically reduce the time and effort required for final cleanup at the end of the project.

A protected and cleaner working environment removes potential hazards and contributes to improved worker safety. Our lightweight but durable protection materials also prove easy for workers to handle, cut, fit or remove. Surface protection helps create a safer environment for workers and by minimizing the risk of accidents or injuries caused by slippery surfaces or loose materials.

Hot-work during construction or outfitting is an obvious fire risk and the damage can be catastrophic. Temprotech’s flame retardant protection materials have been developed, tested and independently certified to a variety of internationally recognised FR standards to ensure they do not support combustion.

Flame retardant temporary protection materials are a cost effective measure to prevent damage, protect assets and safeguard the working environment. With minimal disruption, reduced clean-up or need for ‘making good’, projects are more likely to be completed on time and on budget.

The use of officially certified flame retardant protection materials has become widely recognised as the preferred approach of yards, owners and operators. In many cases their adoption, driven by the demands of insurance companies and industry bodies, has led to it becoming a basic contract requirement for suppliers and outfitters.

Custom print protection materials can include your company logo, contact details or safety message. Not only does this confirm your organisation's commitment to safety and the best working practises, it promotes your company and its involvement in specific projects, it helps identify your work space and defines the scope of your responsibility. In addition, it can help to secure and maintain your supply of protection material for your use during a project.

Surface protection allows workers to perform their tasks more efficiently. When surfaces are adequately protected, workers can focus on their specific jobs without worrying about causing damage to surrounding areas. This improves productivity and ensures that the refurbishment project stays on schedule.

Overall, surface protection is an essential aspect of a successful project not only safeguards valuable assets but also contributes to safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
