- A fire-safe storage facility for Pidilite
The Requirements
- Develop a two-hour fire-retardant enclosure for storing highly flammable goods.

- Cover a significant wall area of 40,000 square feet with a towering height of 40 feet.
- Complete the project within a tight timeframe of just four weeks.
The Solution Implemented
- Deployment of EcoRak solutions, compatible with existing racking systems, offering modularity, fire-retardancy, strength exceeding that of steel, and cost-effectiveness.
- Construction of the 40-foot-high fire-retardant wall using large EcoBoard panels (13.5 ft x 6 ft) in combination with customized frames, including EcoFrames and MS steel frames.
- Collaborative efforts with a reputable structural engineer to ensure the wall's custom design adhered to all safety standards.
- Execution by two expert teams, one focused on fabrication and the other on panel installation, expedited the project.
