Fireproofing the future with HIT

In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Mayank Shrivastava. Fire protection is about more than just buildings—it is about saving lives, ensuring resilience, and keeping businesses running. In this episode, we explore the challenges of modern fire safety in steel and hybrid construction. With new materials and building techniques emerging, engineers must find ways to balance cost, sustainability, and safety while moving beyond basic compliance. Sustainability is key in fire safety, with a growing focus on reducing material use and carbon footprints. Hybrid construction, particularly steel-timber systems, presents unique fire challenges, requiring tailored solutions. Intumescent coatings offer lightweight and visually appealing protection, but environmental factors must be considered when choosing the right strategy. To simplify fire protection design, HERA has created HIT software , a digital tool that optimises fire safety solutions. By offering cost-effective and sustainable alternatives, HIT helps designers make informed decisions. Tune in to learn how technology is shaping the future of fireproofing!
