Division 7 Services for Data Centers & Industrial Megaprojects

Fireproofing • Waterproofing • Insulation • Additional Services

Fireproofing Built to Protect Structural Steel—and Your Schedule

Spray‑applied fireproofing is one of the most common passive fire protection methods in commercial and industrial construction. Alpha installs intumescent, cementitious, and sprayed fiber fireproofing systems to help projects meet required ratings and protect structural members during a fire event.

What We Install:

• Spray fireproofing (SFRM): cementitious & sprayed fiber systems for structural steel and assemblies
• Intumescent fireproofing: thin‑film options for exposed applications where appearance matters
• Board fireproofing: clean installations for select assemblies and conditions

Why Fireproofing Matters for Mission‑Critical Builds:
Data centers and industrial plants often involve long spans, elevated platforms, dense MEP corridors, and accelerated sequencing. Fireproofing that is installed correctly the first time helps reduce rework, speed inspections, and maintain downstream trade flow.

Waterproofing That Protects Sensitive Infrastructure from Day One

Moisture intrusion is costly—especially in facilities where uptime, equipment protection, and controlled environments matter. Alpha installs commercial waterproofing and moisture protection systems for below‑grade foundations, slabs, plaza decks, and complex details built for long‑term performance and peace of mind.

What We Install:

• Sheet‑applied waterproofing membranes for below‑grade walls, slabs, decks, and tunnels
• Hot‑applied waterproofing membranes for monolithic, durable protection on horizontal/vertical surfaces
• Deck coating systems for plaza decks, high‑traffic areas, and wear surfaces
• Bentonite systems for property line/lagging applications with self‑sealing properties
• Air & vapor barrier systems to help control moisture, air, dust, and pollutants
• Expansion joints & joint protection to maintain continuity across movement points

Why Waterproofing Matters for Mission‑critical Builds:
Data centers and battery plants demand consistent moisture management—from below‑grade protection to envelope control—supporting stable internal conditions and reducing risk to sensitive infrastructure.

Insulation for Thermal Control, Efficiency & Performance

Alpha delivers commercial insulation solutions for large‑scale projects where thermal performance, code compliance, and speed of installation is essential. From industrial facilities to manufacturing plants and high‑rise builds, we help teams reduce energy loss and support long‑term building performance.

What We Install:

• Commercial and industrial insulation systems (multiple types depending on assemblies and performance goals)
• Spray foam insulation (where appropriate for air sealing and thermal performance)

Why Insulation Matters For Mission‑critical Builds:
In large facilities, insulation contributes to stable interior conditions, energy efficiency, and protection against moisture‑related issues—supporting performance targets across the life of the building.

Additional Specialty Services to Reduce Trade Coordination

Mission‑critical projects move faster when you can consolidate scopes with a single qualified partner. Alpha supports high‑complexity builds with complementary services that improve continuity, reduce handoffs, and support compliance.

Firestopping

Firestopping is a passive fire protection approach that relies on sealing openings, penetrations, and joints to maintain the fire‑resistance rating of assemblies. Alpha installs firestopping systems including sealants, blankets, mortars, and fire‑rated joint assemblies as part of an integrated life safety approach.

Expansion Joints (Structural & Architectural)

Expansion joints accommodate movement and help maintain watertight and/or fire‑rated continuity where needed. Alpha installs systems for split‑slab decks, solid decks, plaza decks, and interior/exterior wall joints—including watertight and fire‑rated options.  

Restoration & Specialty Protection

For facilities that require repairs or long‑term protection, Alpha provides restoration services including façade repairs, sealant work, flashing repairs, and structural repair solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide dater center fireproofing, waterproofing, firestopping and expansion joints nationwide?

Alpha supports large commercial and industrial projects across the U.S., including mission‑critical facilities, with fireproofing and firestopping services as part of its Division 7 capabilities.

Can your firm handle installing the waterproofing, fireproofing, expansion joints, and firestopping on the same project?

Alpha supports the full breadth of services required for your build. We have separate trained installers and supervision for each of the scopes described. In other words, giving us different scopes does not impact manpower because each scope has their own team.

Can you handle waterproofing and air/vapor barriers on the same project?

Yes—Alpha provides commercial waterproofing services and installs air & vapor barrier systems to help control moisture and building envelope performance.

Do you install expansion joints for plaza decks and split slabs?

Yes—Alpha installs structural and architectural expansion joint systems for split‑slab decks, solid decks, plaza decks, and wall joints, including watertight and fire‑rated systems where specified.

What standards do your fireproofing and firestopping solutions support?

Our work is designed to meet IBC and NFPA Code, UL/FM tested assemblies, and NFCA/FCIA standards
