You're at the 00:00:02:08 00:00:03:13 beginning of your construction 00:00:03:14 00:00:04:10 project. 00:00:04:11 00:00:06:03 Steel beams are being delivered. 00:00:06:04 00:00:08:05 Cranes are lifting and the roof deck 00:00:08:06 00:00:09:15 is going on. 00:00:09:16 00:00:11:06 At the same time, you're navigating 00:00:11:07 00:00:13:06 prep work, insurance, and 00:00:13:07 00:00:14:20 labor schedules. 00:00:14:21 00:00:16:13 Traditional fireproofing typically 00:00:16:14 00:00:18:17 takes place on the job site after 00:00:18:18 00:00:19:17 steel has been erected. 00:00:21:02 00:00:23:03 Mechanical, electrical 00:00:23:04 00:00:25:03 and plumbing contractors have 00:00:25:04 00:00:26:21 to stop work to allow for the 00:00:26:22 00:00:28:12 application of fireproof coating, 00:00:28:13 00:00:30:07 which can significantly slow down 00:00:30:08 00:00:32:16 the overall construction schedule. 00:00:32:17 00:00:34:09 There's a solution, though, with 00:00:34:10 00:00:35:20 Sherwin-Williams Shop Applied 00:00:35:21 00:00:36:21 fireproofing. 00:00:37:13 00:00:39:03 First, let's back up. 00:00:39:04 00:00:41:01 TAKT planning is a lean construction 00:00:41:02 00:00:43:00 methodology that makes it easy to 00:00:43:01 00:00:44:16 plan and schedule, as well as 00:00:44:17 00:00:46:11 identify potential bottlenecks 00:00:46:12 00:00:48:09 and reduce waste. 00:00:48:10 00:00:50:02 Using this methodology, we can 00:00:50:03 00:00:51:22 clearly identify the impact of 00:00:51:23 00:00:54:05 fireproofing on the safety, speed, 00:00:54:06 00:00:55:24 and complexity of a construction 00:00:56:00 00:00:56:24 project. 00:00:57:09 00:00:58:15 And those black areas on the 00:00:58:16 00:01:00:03 schedule? Those represent 00:01:00:04 00:01:02:00 productivity wasted with traditional 00:01:02:01 00:01:03:09 field application. 00:01:03:10 00:01:04:22 When and where you apply 00:01:04:23 00:01:07:04 fireproofing to steel matters. 00:01:07:05 00:01:09:00 See the red box on the schedule? 00:01:09:01 00:01:10:19 That represents the traditional 00:01:10:20 00:01:13:01 field applied fireproofing step. 00:01:13:02 00:01:14:11 A lot of times, this step in the 00:01:14:12 00:01:16:18 process causes a bottleneck. 00:01:16:19 00:01:18:14 Trades have to halt work until 00:01:18:15 00:01:20:13 the fireproofing applicator finishes 00:01:20:14 00:01:22:09 and coatings dry and cure. 00:01:23:11 00:01:24:25 Now let's zoom in on the action 00:01:25:00 00:01:26:24 that's happening in this example. 00:01:27:00 00:01:29:04 Imagine fire, water sprinkler mains 00:01:29:05 00:01:31:19 and MEP overhead rough in work. 00:01:31:20 00:01:33:05 These trades are ready to get to 00:01:33:06 00:01:34:11 work but can't. 00:01:35:18 00:01:37:10 That's where Sherwin-Williams comes 00:01:37:11 00:01:39:15 in with a modern solution shop 00:01:39:16 00:01:41:03 applied fireproofing. 00:01:41:04 00:01:43:04 We work with qualified applicators 00:01:43:05 00:01:45:02 to coat steel in the shop. 00:01:45:03 00:01:46:25 It's safer, faster, and 00:01:46:26 00:01:48:20 simpler, with uniform, controlled 00:01:48:21 00:01:50:16 application and inspection that can 00:01:50:17 00:01:52:13 be carried out easier, ensuring the 00:01:52:14 00:01:54:03 fire rating is achieved. 00:01:54:04 00:01:55:13 And those black areas on the 00:01:55:14 00:01:57:03 schedule that represent wasted time? 00:01:57:04 00:01:59:05 Shop applied fireproofing 00:01:59:06 00:02:00:06 helps remove them. 00:02:02:03 00:02:03:03 Productivity waste? 00:02:03:11 00:02:04:11 Eliminated. Safety? Increased. 00:02:05:15 00:02:06:15 Quality? Controlled. 00:02:09:15 00:02:10:17 When building owners and 00:02:10:18 00:02:12:09 construction partners invite our 00:02:12:10 00:02:13:23 team into the early stages of the 00:02:13:24 00:02:15:20 design process, we're able to 00:02:15:21 00:02:17:15 put time and money back in their 00:02:17:16 00:02:18:18 pockets. 00:02:18:19 00:02:20:24 Risk is reduced, unnecessary 00:02:21:00 00:02:23:06 waste is removed, and productivity 00:02:23:07 00:02:24:17 is enhanced. 00:02:24:18 00:02:26:03 And here's the best part. 00:02:26:04 00:02:28:06 Our customers can focus on making 00:02:28:07 00:02:29:23 sure the rest of the project is 00:02:29:24 00:02:31:05 working in harmony. 00:02:32:15 00:02:33:14 Safer. 00:02:33:15 00:02:34:11 Faster. 00:02:34:12 00:02:35:12 Simpler. 00:02:35:13 00:02:37:02 That's the Sherwin-Williams way. <end subtitles>
