“Bowsers” is the family name of two brothers who founded the business over one hundred years ago. Originally, Bowsers specialised in the insulating of steam generated turbines, and the application of waterproofing membranes. Then over the years, Bowsers broadened its services and started installing various applications of asphalt products.
 Bowsers progressed from its earlier contracting services into the spraying of mineral fibres to fire rate air conditioning ductwork, structural steel, and the turbines of numerous power stations throughout Australia. As a result of this specialist expertise, Bowsers secured work on several iconic projects, such as the construction of the Sydney Opera House.
In 1986, Bowsers won a contract to install passive fire protection systems in the new Parliament House in Canberra. This project saw Bowsers consolidate its position as passive fire rating specialists; the nature of Bowsers’ business evolved from general contracting services to passive fire protection services, that included the spraying of vermiculate, plaster and intumescent coatings, fire rated board ecasement, the sealing of service penetrations, installation of fire collars, and over the last decade, the inspection and rectification of fire dampers.
The present owners purchased Bowsers in 2002, and have continued to consolidate its reputation in delivering unparalleled levels of workmanship and service in the installation and inspection of passive fire protection systems. In order to meet the growing demands of its clientele, Bowsers started offering a BCA Compliance service. Today, Bowsers is the number one choice for experienced building, construction, engineering and property managers who need dedicated fire rating specialists.
